The previously described Neanderthal chromosome 3 locus associated with COVID-19 outcomes [8,20] was also found in all three phenotypes (Figs 3 and S1), with lead variants in the CXCR6 gene for the severe COVID-19 phenotype (rs13059238), and in FYCO1 in the hospitalisation phenotype (rs13069079), and for the LIMD1 gene in the susceptibility phenotype (rs141045534). This evidence concerns the gene FYCO1 and COVID-19.
