ACE2 expression in various human tissues. a Comparison of ACE2 expression levels across 31 human tissues in GTEx [10]. Comparison of ACE2 expression levels between males and females and between younger (ages ≤ 49 years) and older (ages > 49 years) groups in individual human tissues in GTEx (b) and TCGA (c). In TCGA, a comparison of ACE2 expression levels between Asian and non-Asian races in five normal human tissues was also performed (c). Two-sided Student’s t test was used in (b, c). The adjusted P value was calculated by the Benjamini and Hochberg method [13]. ACE2: Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2; GTEx: Genotype-Tissue Expression; TCGA: The Cancer Genome Atlas
