    ABSTRACT: Understanding the genetic basis of COVID-19 vaccine seroconversion is crucial to study the role of genetics on vaccine effectiveness. In our study, we used UK Biobank data to find the genetic determinants of COVID-19 vaccine-induced seropositivity and breakthrough infections. We conducted four genome-wide association studies among vaccinated participants for COVID-19 vaccine seroconversion and breakthrough susceptibility and severity. Our findings confirmed a link between the HLA region and seroconversion after the first and second doses. Additionally, we identified 10 genomic regions associated with breakthrough infection (SLC6A20, ST6GAL1, MUC16, FUT6, MXI1, MUC4, HMGN2P18-KRTCAP2, NFKBIZ and APOC1), and one with breakthrough severity (APOE). No significant evidence of genetic
