SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility and <i>ACE2</i> gene variations within diverse ethnic backgrounds

2021-08-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Host genetics play a major role in COVID-19 susceptibility and severity. Here, we analyse an ethnically diverse cohort of National Health Service (NHS) patients in the United Kingdom (UK) to assess the association between variants in the ACE2 locus and COVID-19 risk. <h4>Methods</h4> We analysed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data of 6,274 participants who were tested for SARS-...
