Pregnant women could be more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 due to the immunological and physiological adaptive remodeling that occurs during pregnancy.5 Furthermore, SARS-CoV-2 also causes hypoxic injury to the placenta, which could contribute to the development of preeclampsia.6 Another factor making pregnant women more vulnerable to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is that the virus enters the cells by means of the receptor protein angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). The gene discussed is ACE2; the disease is COVID-19.
