New study with COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative : Exome-wide association study to identify rare variants influencing #COVID19 outcomes: Results from the Host Genetics Initiative medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #SaudiGenome
🎺🎺 New summary statistics data release from COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative now available! Including leave-one-study-out results. Now >40 genome-wide significant loci. Clear overlap between candidate genes from GWAS and key biological pathways involved in COVID-19. Explore and enjoy!
GWAS loci identified by the various COVID-19 GWASs published to date. The field has never seen a progress that is this fast before, thanks to COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative that played a key role in this success. nature.com/articles/s4158…
COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative Agree, in this research, our group identified that the #SERPINE1 rs6092 variant is related to the impaired #coagulation process in patients with #COVID19 severe. Please read & share! mdpi.com/1587290 #mdpibiology vía Biology MDPI
Want to learn more about how the human genetics community came together in the pandemic and produced unprecedentedly rapid, replicated genetic discoveries? 👇Check out or review on COVID-19 host genetics in Nature Reviews Genetics with Andrea ganna Mark Daly nature.com/articles/s4157…
A recent review by Mari Niemi, Andrea ganna, and Mark Daly summarizes current study designs enabling discovery of human genetic variation associated with #COVID19, w/ a focus on large-scale population-based association studies & the genetic discoveries made. nature.com/articles/s4157…
Our new study led by Brenda Cabrera Mendoza is out in the IJE. Leveraging COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative, UK Biobank, and other #GWAS data, we showed that the effect of #obesity traits on #COVIDー19 is not independent of #socioeconomic factors. academic.oup.com/ije/advance-ar…
