  • Genome-wide epistasis study highlights genetic interactions influencing severity of COVID-19. - European journal of epidemiology (2023) · Lin S, Gao X, Degenhardt F, Qian Y, Liu T, Ramon XF, Hadi SS, Romero-Gómez M, Fernández J, Albillos A, Ferret MB, Bujanda L, Julià A, de Cid R, Asselta R, Franke A, Liu F · PubMed 37358671

    Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may lead to life-threatening respiratory symptoms. Understanding the genetic basis of the prognosis of COVID-19 is important for risk profiling of potentially severe symptoms. Here, we conducted a genome-wide epistasis study of COVID-19 severity in 2243 patients with severe symptoms and 12,612 patients with no or mild symptoms from the UK Biobank, followed by a replication study in an independent Spanish cohort (1416 cases, 4382 controls). Our study highlighted 3 interactions with genome-wide significance in the discovery phase, nominally significant in the replication phase, and enhanced significance in the meta-analysis. For example, the lead interaction was found between rs9792
