To the Editor — As the COVID Human Genetic Effort consortium (https://www.covidhge.com/), we have studied genetic and immunological determinants of life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia1, multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C)2, resistance to SARS-CoV-2 infection3 and ‘COVID toes’4, and here we present our efforts to investigate post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, or ‘long COVID’.
Very long article. Worth reading: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01766-7
