Cover Story: As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic significantly affected older adults, identification of host COVID-19 susceptibility genes remains a challenge. Here, we aimed to identify host genetic factors influencing susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection in a total of 97 elderly (age > 65 years) residents of three long-term care facilities located in Barcelona (Spain). Only 16 uninfected residents remained SARS-CoV-2 seronegative until vaccination (January and February 2021). We found that 2 of the 12 SNPs analysed were significantly associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection susceptibility: MMS19/rs2236575 (p = 0.029) and IFIH1/rs1990760 (p = 0.034). Our results indicate that MMS19/rs2236575_A and IFIH1/rs1990760_TC genetic variants were associated with resistance to SARS-CoV-2 infection in a cohort of institutionalized seniors. View this paper
