This is the best summary I could come up with:
The new research, which was an international collaboration between dozens of scientists, describes how some people carry a version of a single gene, FOXP4, that is associated with developing long COVID.
There isn't a universally agreed upon definition for what is considered long COVID โ people experience a range of different symptoms including "fatigue, muscle pain, intestinal disorders and brain fog" and for different periods of time according to Longet, who was not involved in the new research.
Jill Hollenbach, an immunologist at the University of California, San Francisco, was one of the scientists who led the research on asymptomatic COVID.
Hollenbach also thinks that the new research on long COVID is refreshing because "there's a lot of frustration on the public's part around progress" of understanding the disease and how to treat it.
"There can be a perception out there amongst some people who are involved in advocacy for long COVID that it's being dismissed [by the scientific community] and I don't think that's true."
Working different hours, making diet modifications and trying light breathing exercises are all little things researchers have found to help manage symptoms.
