Infection with SARS-CoV-2 virus has been associated with abnormal levels of certain cytokines and chemokines including IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), granulocyte (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage (GM-CSF), interferon-gamma-induced protein (IP-10), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein 1-α (MIP 1-α), and TNF-α [9,10,11]. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is infection.
