Several SARS-CoV-2-related genes were differentially expressed between DGE vs healthy controls and vs FD but not between DGE patients with normal vs delayed GE, suggesting that the differential expression is related to diabetes per se. The upregulation of CTSL and CTSB and replication genes may predispose to SARS-CoV2 infection of the gastrointestinal tract in diabetes.
