Popis: Genetic associations with severe COVID-19 have been discovered, but epigenetic associations are not as well described. Here, the authors perform a genome-wide epigenetic analysis of COVID-19 patients, discovering an interaction between environmental exposure, genetics, and epigenetics which might play a role in severe disease.
