This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Objective and design:
The heterogeneity of response to SARS-COV-2 infection is directly linked to the individual genetic background. Genetic variants of inflammasome related genes have been pointed as risk factors for several inflammatory sterile and infectious disease. In the group of inflammasome receptors, NLRP1 stand out as a good novel candidate as severity factor for Covid-19 disease.Methods:
To address this question, we performed an association study of NLRP1, DPP9, CARD8, IL1B and IL18 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in a cohort of 945 Covid-19 patients.Results:
The NLRP1 p.Leu155His in the linker region, target of viral protease, was significantly associated to Covid-19 severity, which could contribute to the excessive cytokine release reported in severe cases.
