Although it is still early within the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic for broad association studies with HLA markers, recent work found that HLA-C*07:29 and HLA-B*15:27 alleles statistically correlated with the occurrence of COVID‐19 from a sample of 82 Chinese individuals with COVID‐19 that were genotyped for HLA‐A, ‐B, ‐C, ‐DRB1, ‐DRB3/4/5, ‐DQA1, ‐DQB1, ‐DPA1, and ‐DPB1 loci (20). The gene discussed is HLA-A; the disease is COVID-19.
