#TMPRSS2

Very excited to share some of our lab’s work on SARS-CoV-2. This was a huge team effort – so many people in lab worked hard on this. This is still

Today we're sharing an analysis of the genetics behind two important COVID-19 genes: ACE2 and TMPRSS2. A thread on what we have found 1/9https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.22.20074963v1 @LifelinesNL @serenasanna1 ACE2 and TMPRSS2 are

OK so let's talk about camostat, because I'm starting to worry about it as a #COVID19 repurposing candidate. It emerged based on this Cell paper, but a LOT of assumptions

The COVID targets- RNA virus. SARS COV2 shares nearly 80% genetic analogy with previous SARS COV particularly for spike glycoprotein. There are two subunits of spike glycoprotein but this is

*** COVID19 and males***Is infection with SARS-CoV-2 more virulent among males, and if so why? Can we do anything about it, or use this information for treatment purposes. This thread

Denmark will start a clinical trial of a drug named camostat mesylate tomorrow—barely 1 month after a Cell paper showed the compound can prevent the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, from entering

New paper shows that smoking cigs increases expression of the #SARSCoV2 receptor ACE2. The idea here is more ACE2, more infection, worse #COVID19.This is a faulty assumption.https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1164/rccm.202003-0693LE#.XqW1P4Cg3FM.

In #RaceInABottle, Jonathan Kahn exhaustively documented these studies. Tiny, non-random samples extrapolated to millions. Bad statistics + bad theory. I prefer a different subgroup, repeatedly shown to have biologic import:

Anyone who looks to this charlatan as a source of medical expertise or even as someone with anything resembling scruples is undertaking a fools errand. This is a textbook example

I agree that #SARSCoV2 #COVID19 #coronavirus ocular exposure needs more research, but I'd hold off on assuming that this route is responsible for a substantial portion of new infections for

I would like to lay out why this work is scientifically unsound and problematic. Note that my PhD was in a genetics/informatics lab, and I spent time working with population
