TYK2 and infection: Early after infection with SARS-CoV-2, resistance can be compromised by a failed type 1 interferon (IFN-I) response, due to direct viral antagonism of induction and signalling, deleterious host genetic variants (IFNAR2, IFNA10, TYK2 and PLSCR1), and neutralizing auto-antibodies directed against IFN-I (predominantly IFN-α).
