Objective To overcome the limitations associated with the collection and curation of COVID-
19 outcome data in biobanks, this study proposes the use of polygenic risk scores (PRS) as …

The rapid spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), including the Omicron, and Delta
variants, has resulted in severe economic losses and health issues worldwide. This crisis …

During the last three years, since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant
number of scientific publications have focused on resolving susceptibility to the infection, as …

Background: SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is characterized by a wide variability of
expression ranging from asymptomatic to rarely, critical illness. The basis of this variability …

We analyzed the association between HLA polymorphisms and susceptibility to SARS‐CoV‐
2 infection and disease severity. Genotyping data from a total of 9373 COVID‐19‐positive …

Since 2020, COVID-19 has caused serious mortality around the world. Given the ambiguity
in establishing COVID-19 as the direct cause of death, we first investigate the effects of age …

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection triggers various
events from molecular to tissue level, which in turn is given by the intrinsic characteristics of …

Undoubtedly, genetic factors play an important role in susceptibility and resistance to COVID-
19. In this study, we conducted the GWAS analysis. Out of 15,489,173 SNPs, we identified …

Objective: Interindividual variability in the clinical progression of COVID-19 may be
explained by host genetics. Emerging literature supports a potential inherited predisposition …
