In this review, we focus on the recently identified SNPs in genes like OAS1, NUDT15, LINC00243, TNXB, and THBS1, which have been associated with increased risks of developing more severe symptoms and other diseases such as fatigue, lymphoma, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), dry eye syndrome (DES), and adverse drug reactions. Here, TNXB is linked to neuromyelitis optica.
