Distinct genetic variants significantly influence an individual’s immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and may influence the COVID-19 disease severity. A research group led by MedUni Vienna was able to demonstrate that distinct genetic variants of the CD16a antibody receptor are associated with the risk of severe COVID-19. This affects about 15% of the population. The results are now published in the journal Genetics in Medicine.
