PDHB and COVID-19: Two cuproptosis clusters were identified by unsupervised clustering approach and cuproptosis cluster A characterized by T cell receptor signaling pathway had a better prognosis than cuproptosis cluster B. We constructed a cuproptosis-related risk score, based on PDHA1, PDHB, MTF1 and CDKN2A, and a nomogram was created, which both showed excellent predictive values for COVID-19.
