+<h2>Description</h2>
+<p>
+This track shows variants associated with monogenic congenital defects of immunity to the <b>SARS-CoV-2</b> 
+virus identified by the <a target=_blank 
+href="https://www.covidhge.com/">COVID Human Genetic Effort</a>. 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.
+</p>
 <p>
-Unlike a regular genome browser track, the <b>COVID-19 Immunity Variants</b> track displays all
-affected genes in <a href="https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/multiRegionHelp.html">multi-region view</a>,
-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 <b>deleterious</b> and genetically tested to be <b>disease-causing</b>. 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.

 <h2>Methods</h2>
 <p>
 Variant calls in 12 autosomal IFN-related genes from whole exome or genome data with a MAF lower
 than 0.001 (gnomAD v2.1.1) and experimental demonstration of loss-of-function (LOF) were considered
 for statistical analysis. The proportion of individuals carrying at least one pLOF variant was
 compared between cases and controls by means of logistic regression with the likelihood ratio test.
 The first three principal components of the PCA were included in the logistic regression model
 to account for ethnic heterogeneity of the cohorts.
 Analysis of enrichment in rare (MAF &lt 0.001) synonymous
 variants of the 12 genes was performed to check the calibration of the burden test. PCA was
 conducted with Plink v1.9 software on whole exome and genome sequencing data and 1000 Genomes (1kG)
 Project phase 3 public database as reference, using 27,480 exonic variants with a minor allele
 frequency &gt0.01 and a call rate &gt0.99. The odds ratio was also estimated by logistic regression
 and adjusted for ethnic heterogeneity.
