In the adjusted linear regression model, a difference favoring the COVID‐19 group was observed for CRP levels (24.55 mg/dL; 49.4 to −0.3, p = 0.053), LDH levels (164.68 U/L; 268.1–61.25, p = 0.002), and ALT levels (14.15 U/L; 24.75–3.55, p = 0.009). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is COVID-19.
