Abstract excerpt
An individual's host genetics influence its susceptibility to both COVID-19 and coronary artery disease (CAD). We analyzed large-scale GWAS datasets encompassing 7.7 million SNPs to identify shared genetic architecture between the two diseases. We identified 24 pleiotropic risk loci for both COVID-19 and CAD, with three loci (1p31.1, 8p21.3, and 18q11.2) showing strong evidence for a single shared causal variant....
