+This track shows variants associated with monogenic congenital defects of immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 +virus identified by the COVID Human Genetic Effort. This international consortium aims +to detect rare or common monogenic inborn immunity errors (IEI) underlying severe forms of COVID-19 +in previously healthy individuals, as well as rare or common monogenic variations that make certain +individuals resistant to infection by SARS-CoV2 virus despite repeated exposure. +
-Unlike a regular genome browser track, the COVID-19 Immunity Variants track displays all -affected genes in multi-region view, -showing the variants within the coordinates of the gene, but hiding all the intergenic bases. To -return to the default Genome Browser view, click on the "-" button next to the "region" box. +The major feature of the small set of variants in this track is that they are functionally tested +to be deleterious and genetically tested to be disease-causing. Specifically, +rare variants were predicted to be loss-of-function (LOF) at 13 human loci known to govern +TLR3- and IRF7-dependent type I interferon (IFN) immunity to influenza virus in patients with +life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia, relative to subjects with asymptomatic or benign infection. +These genetic defects display incomplete penetrance for influenza respiratory distress and only +manifested clinically upon infection with the more virulent SARS-CoV-2.
+ +Only eight genes and few variants are contained in this track. Use the links in the table to browse the gene of interest:
