Epigenetic Approaches to Diagnosis and Therapy of COVID-19: Features of Differential DNA Methylation Profile as Potential Targets for Therapy by the Method of RNA Interference

In this article the role of epigenetic factors, in particular, DNA methylation, in the processes of interaction of the SARS-CoV-2 virus with the human body and in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 is considered. An overview of experimental studies on the use of microRNA to regulate the expression of genes processed during the interaction of the virus with the host body is presented. A potential new strategy in the diagnosis and therapy of COVID-19 and other viral factors using RNA interference is considered.
