SARS-CoV-2 enters host cells by binding angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Through a genome-wide association study, we show that a rare variant (MAF = 0.3%, odds ratio 0.60, P=4.5x10-13) that down-regulates ACE2 expression reduces risk of COVID-19 disease, providing human genetics support for the hypothesis that ACE2 levels influence COVID-19 risk. Further, we show that common genetic variants define a risk score that predicts severe disease among COVID-19 cases.

对 756,646 名个体的全基因组分析提供了第一个遗传证据,表明 ACE2 表达影响 COVID-19 风险并产生预测严重疾病的遗传风险评分

SARS-CoV-2 通过结合血管紧张素转换酶 2 (ACE2) 进入宿主细胞。通过全基因组关联研究,我们表明下调 ACE2 表达的罕见变异(MAF = 0.3%,优势比 0.60,P=4.5x10-13)可降低 COVID-19 疾病的风险,为人类遗传学提供支持ACE2 水平影响 COVID-19 风险的假设。此外,我们表明,常见的遗传变异定义了一个风险评分,可预测 COVID-19 病例中的严重疾病。
