The CCR5-delta32 variant might explain part of the association between COVID-19 and the chemokine-receptor gene cluster
2020-11-04
Abstract excerpt
A polymorphism in the LZTFL1 gene located in the chemokine-receptor gene cluster (chromosome 3p) has been associated with the risk of developing COVID-19. The chemokine receptor-5 (CCR5) maps to this region, and the common 32 bp deletion variant (Δ32) has been associated with the extent of inflammatory disease and the outcome in several viral diseases.
