While we identified strong evidence for a shared genetic signal (PP > 80%) between the lead cis-pQTL for the other candidate causal gene at this locus (CAT) and the corresponding cis-eQTL in 29 out of 49 tissues in GTEx v8, indicating convergence of gene and protein expression, plasma levels of catalase (encoded by CAT) did not colocalise with COVID-19 phenotypes. This evidence concerns the gene CAT and COVID-19.
