A recent report found that rare predicted loss-of-function (pLOF) variants across 13 candidate
genes in TLR3- and IRF7-dependent type I IFN pathways explain up to 3.5% of severe …

Host genetics is a key determinant of COVID-19 outcomes. Previously, the COVID-19 Host
Genetics Initiative genome-wide association study used common variants to identify multiple …

Variability in SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility and COVID-19 disease severity between
individuals is partly due to genetic factors. Here, we identify 4 genomic loci with suggestive …
