Abstract

COVID-19 results from complex interactions between virus, human host, and other factors. This project involves using state-of-the-art statistical methods to better understand host genetic factors for COVID-19. The project is novel in integrating COVID-19hg results with the Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH) Generations Project for better patient care that considers both genetic and clinical information. The study will also explore health disparity issues associated with COVID-19 because of the diverse patient population at YNHH and provide the host genetics perspective on COVID1-9 epidemics.
