AB Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an emerging pathogen that has caused a global pandemic due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). This disease displays a highly variable clinical picture that ranges from asymptomatic disease to more severe disease such as pneumonia, hypoxia and severe respiratory distress, to the most critical disease with respiratory failure, sepsis, septic shock and/or multi-organ failure that can lead to death. COVID-19 is associated with several risk factors such as distinct ethnicity/race, sex, age, pre-existing comorbidities, and genetics factors. It is likely that a mixture of genetic and non-genetic factors interplays between virus and host genetics, and determines the severity of disease outcome.  In this work, a bibliography search has been carried out in order to identify the most important genes and genetic variants associated with increased susceptibility and severity of COVID‐19. Our findings highlight genetic variation in the ABO, HLA, OAS, DPP9, TYK2, TMEM189-UBE2V1, IFNAR2 and TMPRSS2 genes, as well as the 3p21.31 locus (harboring LZTFL1 and CXCR6, among others). Moreover, we describe the functional evidence that supports their implication in COVID-19.
