Flow chart of this study.

Stage I of the study involved a meta-analysis of the Latin American genome-wide association studies (GWAS) from SCOURGE and the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative. The resulting meta-analysis was leveraged to prioritize genes by using a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS), Bayesian fine-mapping and functional annotations, and to assess the generalizability of polygenic risk score (PGS) cross-population models in Latin Americans. Stage II involved two additional cross-population GWAS meta-analyses to further investigate the replicability of findings.

Figure 1—figure supplement 1
Global genetic inferred ancestry (GIA) composition in the SCOURGE Latin American cohort.

European (EUR), African (AFR), and Native American (AMR) GIA was derived with ADMIXTURE from a reference panel composed of Aymaran, Mayan, Nahuan, and Quechuan individuals of Native American genetic ancestry and randomly selected samples from the EUR and AFR 1KGP populations. The colors represent the different geographical sampling regions from which the admixed American individuals from SCOURGE were recruited.

Manhattan plot for the admixed AMR genome-wide association studies (GWAS) meta-analysis.

Probability thresholds at p=5 × 10–8 and p=5 × 10–5 are indicated by the horizontal lines. Genome-wide significant associations with COVID-19 hospitalizations were found on chromosome 2 (within BAZ2B), chromosome 3 (within LZTFL1), chromosome 6 (within FOXP4), and chromosome 11 (within DDIAS).

Summary of the results from gene prioritization strategies used for genetic associations in AMR populations.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) catalog association for BAZ2B-AS was with FEV/FCV ratio. Literature-based evidence is further explored in ‘Discussion’.

Figure 4—figure supplement 1
Gene‒tissue pairs for which either rs1003835 or rs60606421 are significant expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) at false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05 (data retrieved from https://gtexportal.org/home/snp/).

rs1003835 (chromosome 2) maps to BAZ2B, LY75, and PLA2R1 genes. As for the lead variant of chromosome 11, rs77599934, since it was not an eQTL, we used an LD proxy variant (rs60606421). DDIAS and PRCP genes map closely to this variant. NES and p-values correspond to the normalized effect size (and direction) of eQTL-gene associations and the p-value for the tissue, respectively.

Forest plot showing effect sizes and the corresponding confidence intervals for the sentinel variants identified in the AMR meta-analysis across populations.

All beta values with their corresponding CIs were retrieved from the B2 population-specific meta-analysis from the HGI v7 release, except for AMR, for which the beta value and IC from the HGIAMR-SCOURGE meta-analysis are represented.

Polygenic risk distribution for COVID-19 hospitalization.

(A) Polygenic risk stratified by polygenic risk score (PGS) deciles comparing each risk group against the lowest risk group (OR–95% CI). (B) Distribution of the PGS in each of the severity scale classes. 0, asymptomatic; 1, mild disease; 2, moderate disease; 3, severe disease; 4, critical disease.

MultiXcan results for the SC-HGI_AMR GWAS meta-analysis.

N: number of tissues available for the gene; n_indep: number of independent components of variation kept among the tissues' predictions; p_i_best: best p-value of single tissue S-prediXcan association; t_i_best: name of best single tissue S-prediXcan association; p_i_worst: worst p-value of single tissue S-prediXcan association; t_i_worst: name of worst single tissue S-prediXcan association; eigen_max: eigenvalue of the top independent component in the SVD decomposition of predicted expression correlation; eigen_min: eigenvalue of the last independent component in the SVD decomposition of predicted expression correlation; eigen_min_kept: eigenvalue of the smallest independent component that was kept in the SVD decomposition of predicted expression correlation; z_min: minimum z-score among single-tissue S-prediXcan associations; z_max: maximum z-score among single-tissue S-prediXcan associations; z_mean: mean z-score among single tissue S-prediXcan associations; z_sd: standard deviation of the mean z-score among single-tissue S-prediXcan associations; tmi: trace of T*T', where T is the correlation of predicted expression levels for different tissues multiplied by its SVD pseudo-inverse and is an estimate for the number of independent components of variation in predicted expression across tissues.
