บทคัดย่อ: Host genetic factors have been shown to play a role in SARs-CoV-2 infection in diverse populations. However, the genetic landscape differs among various ethnicities; therefore, we explored the host genetic factors associated with COVID-19 disease susceptivity and disease severity in a Thai population. We recruited and genotyped 212 unrelated COVID-19 Thai patients and 36 controls using AxiomTM Human Genotyping SARs-COV-2 array, including 847,384 single nucleotide polymorphisms related to SARs-COV-2 pathogenesis, immune response, and related comorbidity No SNPs passed the genome-wide significance threshold of p value <1 × 10−8. However, with a threshold of p value <1 × 10−5, a locus on chromosome 5q32 was found to have a suggestive association with COVID-19 disease susceptibility (p value 6.9 × 10−6; Q–Q plot λ = 0.805, odds ratio 0.02). Notably, IL17B is a gene located in this linkage disequilibrium block and is previously shown to play a part in inflammation and pneumonia. Additionally, a suggestive locus on chromosome 12q22, harboring EEA1 and LOC643339, was associated with COVID-19 disease severity (p value 1.3 × 10−6 – 4.4 × 10−6, Q–Q plot λ = 0.997, odds ratio 0.28–0.31). EEA1 is involved in viral entry into cells, while LOC643339 is a long non-coding RNA. In summary, our study suggested loci on chromosomes 5q32 and 12q22 to be linked to COVID-19 disease susceptibility and disease severity, respectively. The small sample size of this study may lessen the likelihood that the association found is real, but it could still be true. Further study with a larger cohort is required to confirm these findings. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to The Japan Society of Human Genetics.
