MVP and COVID-19: Our lead SNP for this region in MVP was rs60870724, an intergenic indel located 2.7 kb upstream of NXPE3 and 52.6 kb downstream of CEP97. The proximity of rs60870724 to NXPE3, combined with the strength of the gene-based association, points to NXPE3 as a potential causal gene, but further investigation is required to untangle the role of these genes in COVID-19.
