While COVID-19 risk increasing alleles at LZTFL1 and TRIM4 were consistently associated with a higher risk for viral pneumonia and post-inflammatory pulmonary fibrosis, respectively, risk-increasing alleles at MUC5B, NPNT, and PSMD3 were inversely associated with post-inflammatory pulmonary fibrosis and asthma. This evidence concerns the gene MUC5B and viral pneumonia.
