Intronic Variants of the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 Gene Modulate Plasma ACE2 Levels and Possibly Confer Protection against Severe COVID-19

<div>Violin plot showing the plasma ACE2 concentration in male and female participants. Male participants have higher plasma ACE2 level (indicated in red), compared to female participants (shown in blue). The black dots in the error bars correspond to the mean value in each group.</div>
