Integrated multi-omics characterization across clinically relevant subgroups of long COVID.

ABSTRACT: When SARS-CoV-2 became regional epidemics, a substantial number of patients suffered from post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC, aka long COVID). Exploring the pathogenesis and especially the heterogenicity features of long COVID subgroups is of paramount importance for understanding its etiology. In this study, through integrative multi-omics analyses encompassing transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, long COVID patients exhibited overall elevated MAPK pathway activation, while patients who have recovered from long COVID showed down-regulation of this response. Long COVID heterogenicity is described by multi-omics distinct signatures for each subgroup. The Multisystemic (MULTI) symptom subgroup is characterized by enhanced glycerophospholipid and ether lipid metabolism, Neurologi
