Genome‐Wide Association Studies of Hospitalized Influenza Identify Four Risk Loci and Reveal Shared and Unique Genetic Factors Compared With COVID‐19
Medicine
Abstract
Influenza remains a significant global health burden, potentially leading to hospitalization and mortality. Although previous studies have explored genetic susceptibility to influenza infection, the genetic basis of influenza hospitalization and its relationship with respiratory diseases like COVID‐19 remain poorly understood.
