HLA-A and COVID-19: Curiously, in countries where HLA-A*02:01 is the most frequent in the population, a significant correlation exists with mortality (expressed as deaths out of 106 population) vs. countries where HLA-A*24:02 or HLA-A*11:01 are the most frequent alleles, as confirmed at two different time points (April 2020 p = 0.003 and August 2020 p < 0.001, respectively), excluding from further analysis that the number of recorded deaths accounts for the simple increase in COVID-19 cases regardless of the HLA genotype.
