High expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 in colorectal cancer patients

Abstract Little is known of the patterns of expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 or the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 in patients with COVID-19 and colorectal cancer. We found in both bulk and single-cell RNA-seq profiles that ACE2 and TMPRSS2 were expressed at high levels on tumor and normal color...
