COVID-19 biomarkers for severity mapped to polycystic ovary syndrome by Abu Saleh Md Moin (6189512)

“…These protein panels target biological processes involved in vessel damage, platelet degranulation, the coagulation cascade and the acute phase response [1], with greater protein changes dependent on the COVID-19 severity. However, it is observed that in metabolic conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome expressed proteins differ compared to control women [2] and PCOS patients have increased platelet aggregation and decreased plasma fibrinolytic activity, resulting in a prothrombotic propensity [3, 4], with elevated coagulation markers [5]. …”
