Genome data to improve diagnosis and treatment of long Covid

Despite the many advances, there are still major gaps in the care of patients with long-term and post-COVID. The Institute of Human Genetics at the UKB in Bonn now begins a genomLC study as part of a BMG funding priority. The researchers want to help speed up the diagnosis of long- and post-COVID and identify possible biomarkers that could possibly also differentiate between subgroups of the diseases. To this end, the genomic data of those affected is being analyzed as part of a study using blood samples. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Health (BMG) with 1.34 million euros.
