Scent of COVID-19: Whole-Genome Sequencing Analysis Reveals the Role of <i>ACE2</i>, <i>IFI44</i>, and <i>NDUFAF4</i> in Long-Lasting Olfactory Dysfunction by Beatrice Spedicati, Alessandro Pecori, Maria Pina Concas, Aurora Santin, Romina Ruberto, Giuseppe Giovanni Nardone, Andrea D’Alessandro, Giancarlo Tirelli, Paolo Boscolo-Rizzo, Giorgia Girotto

“…Considering the physiological role of the proteins encoded by these genes, it can be hypothesized that a reduced expression of <i>ACE2</i> may be associated with a protracted and severe inflammatory response in the olfactory epithelium, thus worsening patients’ smell abilities. Conversely, an increased gene score in <i>IFI44</i> and <i>NDUFAF4</i> might be associated with a decreased inflammatory response, thus correlating with a better olfactory performance. …”
