Popis: The need to identify and effectively treat COVID-19 cases at highest risk for severe disease remains critical. We identified five common genetic loci (two novel) that modulate both COVID-19 susceptibility and severity, implicating TMPRSS2, IFNAR2, CCHCR1, TCF19 and SLC6A20 as potential targets. A high genetic burden was strongly associated with increased risk of hospitalization and severe disease among COVID-19 cases, especially among individuals with few known clinical risk factors.
