Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 infected a large fraction of humans in the past 2 years. The clinical presentation of acute infection varies greatly between individuals, ranging from asymptomatic or mild to life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia with multi-organ complications. Demographic and comorbid factors explain part of this variability, yet it became clear early in the pandemic that human genetic variation also plays a role in the stark differences observed amongst SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals. Using tools and approaches successfully developed for human genomic studies in the previous decade, large international collaborations embarked in the exploration of the genetic determinants of multiple outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection, with a special emphasis on disease severity. Genome-wide association studies identified multiple common genetic variants associated with COVID-19 pneumonia, most of which in regions encoding genes with known or suspected immune function. However, the downstream, functional work required to understand the precise causal variants at each locus has only begun. The interrogation of rare genetic variants using targeted, exome, or genome sequencing approaches has shown that defects in genes involved in type I interferon response explain some of the most severe cases. By highlighting genes and pathways involved in SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis and host-virus interactions, human genomic studies not only revealed novel preventive and therapeutic targets, but also paved the way for more individualized disease management.
