Mapping the human genetic architecture of COVID-19
C. H. G. Initiative
This innovative study by the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative uncovers the genetic factors influencing SARS-CoV-2 infection and the severity of COVID-19. Through extensive research involving tens of thousands of patients from around the globe, significant genetic loci linked to respiratory and autoimmune diseases were identified, indicating the vital role of genetics in pandemics.
