A genomic region associated with protection against severe COVID-19 is inherited from Neandertals.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 2 Mar 2021

Zeberg Hugo, Pääbo Svante

Abstract excerpt

It was recently shown that the major genetic risk factor associated with becoming severely ill with COVID-19 when infected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is inherited from Neandertals. New, larger genetic association studies now allow additional genetic risk factors to be discovered. Using data from the Genetics of Mortality in Critical Care (GenOMICC) consortium, we show that a...
