COVID-19 genetic risk and Neanderthals: A case study highlighting the importance of scrutinizing diversity

2020-11-03

Abstract excerpt

Recent genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic risk factors for developing severe COVID-19 symptoms. The first published study reported a 1bp insertion rs11385942 on chromosome 3 (1) and subsequent studies single nucleotide variants (SNVs) such as rs35044562, rs67959919 (2) and rs13078854 (3), all highly correlated with each other. Zeberg and Pääbo (4) subsequently traced them back to Neande...
