+<h2>Description</h2>
+<p>
+This track shows rare 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 discover truly causative variations: those underlying 
+severe forms of COVID-19 in previously healthy individuals, and those that make certain 
+individuals resistant to infection by the SARS-CoV2 virus despite repeated exposure.
+</p>
+<p>
+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 at human loci known to govern
+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
+appear clinically upon infection with the more virulent SARS-CoV-2.

+<h2>Methods</h2>
+<p>
+This track uses variant calls in autosomal IFN-related genes from whole exome and genome data 
+with a MAF lower than 0.001 (gnomAD v2.1.1) and experimental demonstration of loss-of-function.
+The patient population studied consisted of 659 patients with life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia 
+relative to 534 subjects with asymptomatic or benign infection of varying ethnicities. 
+Variants underlying autosomal-recessive or autosomal-dominant deficiencies were identified in 
+23 patients (3.5%) 17 to 77 years of age.
+The proportion of individuals carrying at least one variant was compared between severe cases 
+and control cases by means of logistic regression with the likelihood ratio test.
+Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was conducted with Plink v1.9 software on whole exome and 
+genome sequencing data with the 1000 Genomes (1kG) Project phase 3 public database as reference.
+Analysis of enrichment in rare synonymous variants of the genes was performed to check the 
+calibration of the burden test. 
+The odds ratio was also estimated by logistic regression and adjusted for ethnic heterogeneity.
