An <i>IGHG1</i> Variant Introgressed From Vindija Neanderthal Archaic Hominin Confers Enhanced Antibody Immunity Against SARS-CoV-2
2022-05-07
Abstract excerpt
How genetic polymorphisms of adaptive immune receptors influence population susceptibility to infectious diseases remains unclear. Here we describe the prevalence and provenance of a coding variant in IgG1 (G396R) that influences the IgG1 antibody response against SARS-CoV-2. G396R variant is negatively associated with susceptibility to COVID-19. The protective effect of the G396R variant is achieved by promoting...
