We identified several significantly associated SNPs to severe COVID-19 in proximity of the most distant gene of the chromosome 3 CKR cluster CCRL2. Since most of the identified variants were in non-coding regions, and a substantial portion of CCRL2 eQTLs were predicted to be active in neutrophils, we decided to further investigate these CCRL2 eQTLs for three main reasons. The gene discussed is CCRL2; the disease is COVID-19.
