Human chromosomal-scale length variation and severity of COVID-19 infection using the UK Biobank dataset

2020-07-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> The course of COVID-19 varies from asymptomatic to severe (acute respiratory distress, cytokine storms, and death) in patients. The basis for this range in symptoms is unknown. One possibility is that genetic variation is responsible for the highly variable response to infection. We evaluated how well a genetic risk score based on chromosome-scale length variation and machine learning classif...
