Host genetic variability and determinants of severe COVID-19.

ABSTRACT: Since the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, convergent studies have provided evidence that host genetic background may contribute to the development of severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Here, we summarize how some genetic variations, such as in SARS-CoV-2 receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 or interferon signaling pathway, may help to understand why some individuals can develop severe COVID-19.

Project description:BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was varied in disease symptoms. We aim to explore the effect of host genetic factors and comorbidities on severe COVID-19 risk.MethodsA total of 20,320 COVID-19 patients in the UK Biobank cohort were included. Genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) was used to identify host genetic factors in the progression of COVID-19 and a polygenic risk score (PRS) consisted of 86 SNPs was constructed to summarize genetic susceptibility. Colocalization analysis and Logistic regression model were used to assess the association of host genetic factors and comorbidities with COVID-19 severity. All cases were randomly split into training and validation set (1:1). Four algorithms were used to develop predictive models and predict COVID-19 severity. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities and PRS were included in the model to predict the risk of severe COVID-19. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was applied to assess the models' performance.ResultsWe detected an association with rs73064425 at locus 3p21.31 reached the genome-wide level in GWAS (odds ratio: 1.55, 95% confidence interval: 1.36-1.78). Colocalization analysis found that two genes (SLC6A20 and LZTFL1) may affect the progression of COVID-19. In the predictive model, logistic regression models were selected due to simplicity and high performance. Predictive model consisting of demographic characteristics, comorbidities and genetic factors could precisely predict the patient's progression (AUROC = 82.1%, 95% CI 80.6-83.7%). Nearly 20% of severe COVID-19 events could be attributed to genetic risk.ConclusionIn this study, we identified two 3p21.31 genes as genetic susceptibility loci in patients with severe COVID-19. The predictive model includes demographic characteristics, comorbidities and genetic factors is useful to identify individuals who are predisposed to develop subsequent critical conditions among COVID-19 patients.
