Whole genome sequencing identifies multiple loci for critical illness caused by COVID-19
2021-09-02
Abstract excerpt
Critical illness in COVID-19 is caused by inflammatory lung injury, mediated by the host immune system. We and others have shown that host genetic variation influences the development of illness requiring critical care 1 or hospitalisation 2;3;4 following SARS-Co-V2 infection. The GenOMICC (Genetics of Mortality in Critical Care) study recruits critically-ill cases and compares their genomes with population contro...
