The common genetic variant rs1278960 determining expression of Interferon-lambda predicts inflammatory response in critically ill COVID-19 patients

Abstract The single nucleotide polymorphism rs12979860 is associated with the production of IFNλ4, a type III interferon, which offers protection from viral infection via its proinflammatory properties. We investigated if a genetically determined increase in IFNλ4 affects disease progression in SARS...
