| Fecha: | 2025 |
| Resumen: | We aimed to explore the global and sex-specific genetic variants associated with long COVID, as defined by patient-driven symptom recall. A 1-year cohort study of 2411 COVID-19 patients collected long COVID symptoms with an open-ended, non-directed questionnaire, and long COVID incidence was determined according to the World Health Organization definition. Global and sex-stratified genome-wide association analyses were conducted by logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex (in the global analysis), and the first 10 principal components. We assessed sex-variant interactions and performed gene-based analyses, gene mapping, and gene-set enrichment analyses. When comparing the 1392 long COVID cases with the non-cases, we identified 23 lead variants from suggestive signals: 13 from the global analysis, 5 from females, and 5 from males. Five variants showed a significant interaction with sex (two in females, three in males). We mapped 15 protein-coding genes related to diseases of the immune and nervous systems and tumoral processes. Notably, CD5 and VPS37C, linked to immune function, were significantly associated with long COVID in men. Our results suggest that persistent immune dysregulation may be involved in the development of precisely defined long COVID. |
