Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous genetic loci associated with COVID-19 susceptibility and severity. However, it remains unclear which variants specifically contribute to the progression from hospitalization to critical illness. To address this, we identified 394 symptom-differentiating SNPs (sdSNPs) by directly comparing GWAS summary statistics between critical and hospitalized...
