This week, we launch the COVID Human Genetic Effort to determine genetic basis of severe SARS CoV2 infection. Very pleased to contribute to this global initiative. Well done to @casanova_lab, Helen Su (& @YelenaNemirovs1) for organising and all our great international colleagues

1. monogenic inborn errors of immunity predispose kids / young healthy adults to severe #COVID19.
2. genetic variants may protect individuals. pic.twitter.com/996PVPTmaO
