It was also determined by the presence of inflammatory markers associated with COVID-19, such as elevated lactate dehydrogenase (OR 1.30, 95% CI 1.16–1.47; p < 0.05), interleukin-6 (OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.16–2.59; p < 0.05), or ferritin levels (OR 1.93, 95% CI 1.59–2.35; p < 0.05) (Table 21). The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is COVID-19.
