Genes and pathways differentially regulated by SARS-CoV-2 alone, but with attenuated transcriptional responses in the lungs of coinfected hamsters were observed, including the loss of upregulation of toll-like receptor signaling and previously proposed host biomarkers for COVID-19 severity (CHI3L1, HMOX1), Long COVID (FCG4/FCGR3A and FST) and mortality (FST). This evidence concerns the gene FCGR3A and COVID-19.
