Nature ·
The Brief
- A study examined polygenic associations with COVID-19 severity in two Danish cohorts.
- The paper reports on relationships between polygenic scores and pre-infection health.
- The source provided is a nature.com subject feed entry with no summary text.
Why it matters
It adds genetic-epidemiology evidence on who may be more vulnerable to severe COVID-19, relevant to researchers studying host genetics and risk prediction.
