Genetics of COVID-19

COVID-19 is characterized by a wide range of clinical manifestations, from asymptomatic to extremely severe. At the onset of the pandemic, it became clear that old age and chronic illness were the major risk factors. However, they do not fully explain the variety of symptoms and complications of the...
