To date the locus with the most robust human genetic association to COVID-19 susceptibility is 3p21.31. Here, we integrate genome-scale CRISPR loss-of-function screens and eQTLs in diverse cell types and tissues to pinpoint genes underlying COVID-19 risk. Our findings identify and as putative causal genes that mediate COVID-19 risk and highlight the usefulness of this integrative approach to bridge the divide between and studies of human biology.
迄今为止,与新冠病毒易感性存在最显著人类遗传关联的基因座位于3号染色体短臂21.31区域。在此,我们整合了全基因组规模的CRISPR功能丧失筛选以及不同细胞类型和组织中的表达定量性状基因座(eQTL),以确定新冠病毒风险背后的基因。我们的研究结果确定了[具体基因1]和[具体基因2]作为介导新冠病毒风险的假定因果基因,并突出了这种整合方法在弥合人类生物学[两方面研究]之间差距方面的有用性。 (注:原文中“ and ”处应补充具体信息,译文按原文格式保留以便对照)
