Furthermore, the patients with common chronic diseases regarding angiocardiopathy, type 2 diabetes, liver, pneumonia and hypertension were also with higher ACE2 expression compared to related controls, which were validated using independent data sets. Collectively, our study may reveal a novel important mechanism that the patients with certain cancers and chronic diseases may express higher ACE2 expression compared to the individuals without diseases, which could lead to their higher susceptibility to multi‐organ injury of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. Here, we systematically analysed ACE2 expression using largescale multi-omics data from a variety of organs/tissues and cancer types, as well as the common chronic diseases of heart, liver, diabetes, pneumonia and hypertension involving a total of >28 000 samples. ./cache/cord-297989-4grwa4ab.txt ./txt/cord-297989-4grwa4ab.txt
