Identification of the susceptibility genes for COVID-19 in lung adenocarcinoma with global data and biological computation methods
Introduction: The risk of infection with COVID-19 is high in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients, and there is a dearth of studies on the molecular mechanism underlying the high susceptibility of LUAD patients to COVID-19 from the perspective of the global differential expression landscape.
