Abstract

The COVID-19 host genetics initiative is a bottom-up collaborative effort that has three main goals: Provide an environment to foster the sharing of resources to facilitate COVID-19 host genetics research (e.g. protocols, questionnaires). Organize analytical activities across studies to identify genetic determinants of COVID-19 susceptibility and severity. Provide a platform to share the results from such activities, as well as the individual-level data where possible, to benefit the broader scientific community.
