ITER’s Genomics Area has participated in this work, published in the scientific journal European Respiratory Journal Open Research, which suggests that people with a high genetic risk of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis may have a higher overall risk of developing pulmonary fibrotic sequelae once severe COVID-19 has been overcome. The research staff of the Genomics Area of the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER), dependent on the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, has participated in a study that has discovered shared biological mechanisms between severe COVID-19 and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The research delves into the genetic architecture of severe COVID-19, analyzing…
