What genes affect the COVID-19 gender imbalance?

Many studies have established that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is more infective in men than women, and men are more at risk of severe disease. While some have suggested that behavioral differences could explain increased transmission to men, this does not explain the more morbid prognosis.
