SARS-CoV-2 infection displays immense inter-individual clinical variability, ranging from silent infection to lethal disease. The role of human genetics in determining clinical response to the virus remains unclear. Studies of outliers-individuals remaining uninfected despite viral exposure and healthy young patients with life-threatening disease-present a unique opportunity to reveal human genetic determinants of infection and disease.
SARS-CoV-2 感染表现出巨大的个体间临床变异性,从无症状感染到致命疾病不等。人类遗传学在决定对病毒的临床反应中的作用尚不清楚。对异常值个体(尽管接触了病毒但仍未感染的个体和患有危及生命疾病的健康年轻患者)的研究提供了一个独特的机会,可以揭示感染和疾病的人类遗传决定因素。
