Candidate Genes of SARS-CoV-2 Gender Susceptibility

In this study, the rs4541843 G > A variant was found to be significantly associated with increased risk and severity of alopecia areata, as well as elevated expression of hsa-miR-182-5p, suggesting their potential as molecular markers for diagnosis and severity assessment.

This article reviews the use of various treatments for alopecia and their potential impact on COVID-19 outcomes, emphasizing the importance of patient registries in generating real-world evidence; it reports no new results.

This review suggests that understanding the biological and molecular reasons for more severe COVID-19 in men, particularly those at risk for prostate cancer, could improve management of these patients, but reports no new results.

This review discusses targeting host cell proteases as a novel approach to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting transcriptional modulation and enzymatic inhibition as promising therapeutic strategies, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review highlights recent insights into using antiandrogens as preventive and therapeutic measures against COVID-19, emphasizing their role in blocking viral infection by modulating androgen-mediated host protease TMPRSS2 and cell entry protein ACE2, with varying success in clinical trials.
