| Abstract: | Copyright © The Author(s) 2023. Investigating the role of host genetic factors in COVID-19 severity and susceptibility can inform our understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms that influence adverse outcomes and drug development1,2. Here we present a second updated genome-wide association study (GWAS) on COVID-19 severity and infection susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 from the COVID-19 Host Genetic Initiative (data release 7). We performed a meta-analysis of up to 219,692 cases and over 3 million controls, identifying 51 distinct genome-wide significant loci—adding 28 loci from the previous data release2. The increased number of candidate genes at the identified loci helped to map three major biological pathways that are involved in susceptibility and severity: viral entry, airway defence in mucus and type I interferon. |
| Description: | Matters Arising From: COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative. Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-03767-x (2021) Data availability: Summary statistics generated by the COVID-19 HGI are available online, including per-ancestry summary statistics for African, admixed American, East Asian, European and South Asian ancestries (https://www.covid19hg.org/results/r7/). The analyses described here used the data release 7. If available, individual-level data can be requested directly from contributing studies, listed in Supplementary Table 1. We used publicly available data from GTEx (https://gtexportal.org/home/), the Neale laboratory (http://www.nealelab.is/uk-biobank/), the Finucane laboratory (https://www.finucanelab.org), the FinnGen Freeze 4 cohort (https://www.finngen.fi/en/access_results) and the eQTL catalogue release 3 (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/eqtl/). Code availability: The code for summary statistics lift-over, the projection PCA pipeline including precomputed loadings and meta-analyses (https://github.com/covid19-hg/); for heritability estimation (https://github.com/AndrewsLabUCSF/COVID19_heritability); for Mendelian randomization and genetic correlation (https://github.com/marcoralab/MRcovid); and subtype analyses (https://github.com/mjpirinen/covid19-hgi_subtypes) are available at GitHub.
