Abstract
Article highlights: Increasing evidence links coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection with heightened type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk; however, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain poorly understood. We aimed to identify mediating proteins linking COVID-19 infection with T2D, elucidating how COVID-19 might heighten T2D risk. Protein CD209 and central obesity potentially play a crucial role between COVID-19 susceptibility and T2D. Our results highlight CD209 as a potential intervention target for T2D prevention following COVID-19 infection.
