Integrative approach identifies <i>SLC6A20</i> and <i>CXCR6</i> as putative causal genes for the COVID-19 GWAS signal in the 3p21.31 locus
2021-04-13
Abstract excerpt
To date the locus with the most robust human genetic association to COVID-19 susceptibility is 3p21.31. Here, we integrate genome-scale CRISPR loss-of-function screens and eQTLs in diverse cell types and tissues to pinpoint genes underlying COVID-19 risk. Our findings identify SLC6A20 and CXCR6 as putative causal genes that mediate COVID-19 risk and highlight the usefulness of this integrative approach to bridge t...
