BackgroundWhole blood gene expression analysis is essential for understanding molecular host responses and identifying markers of disease severity. Self-collected finger-prick capillary blood provides a promising alternative to venous sampling, yet its application to transcriptomics is still underexplored. MethodsCOVERAGE-Immuno sub-study is an ancillary study of the COVERAGE France platform trial (NCT04356495), a randomized controlled trial of COVID-19 early treatment in at risk patients with ...
