Interestingly, in our cohort CXCL10 performed as well, or better, as a panel including 6 additional inflammatory cytokines (IL6, CXCL8, CCL2, CCL3, IL10, and TNFα), suggesting that these other cytokines do not add predictive value to CXCL10 alone with regard to inflammatory response to COVID19. The gene discussed is CXCL8; the disease is COVID-19.
