ABSTRACT
RationaleA common MUC5B gene polymorphism, rs35705950-T, is associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, but its role in the SARS-CoV-2 infection and disease severity is unclear. ObjectivesTo assess whether rs35705950-T confers differential risk for clinical outcomes associated with COVID-19 infection among participants in the Million Veteran Program (MVP) and COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative (HGI). MethodsMVP participants were examined for an association between the incidence or severity of COVID-19 and the presence of a MUC5B rs35705950-T allele. Comorbidities and clinical events were extracted from the electronic health records (EHR). The analysis was performed within each ancestry group in the MVP, adjusting for sex, age, age2, and first twenty principal components followed by a trans-ethnic meta-analysis. We then pursued replication and performed a meta-analysis with the trans-ethnic summary statistics from the HGI. A phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) of the rs35705950-T was conducted to explore associated pathophysiologic conditions. Measurements and Main ResultsA COVID-19 severity scale was modified from the World Health Organization criteria, and phenotypes derived from the International Classification of Disease-9/10 were extracted from EHR. Presence of rs35705950-T was associated with fewer hospitalizations (Ncases=25353, Ncontrols=631,024; OR=0.86 [0.80-0.93], p=7.4 x 10-5) in trans-ethnic meta-analysis within MVP and joint meta-analyses with the HGI (N=1641311; OR=0.89 [0.85-0.93], p =1.9 x 10-6). Moreover, individuals of European Ancestry with at least one copy of rs35705950-T had fewer post-COVID-19 pneumonia events (OR=0.85 [0.76-0.96], p =0.008). PheWAS exclusively revealed pulmonary involvement. ConclusionsThe MUC5B variant rs35705950-T is protective in COVID-19 infection.
