The role of TLR7 agonists in modulating COVID-19 severity in subjects with loss-of-function TLR7 variants

Abstract We investigate the mechanism associated with the severity of COVID-19 in men with TLR7 mutation. Men with loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in TLR7 had severe COVID-19. LOF mutations in TLR7 increased the risk of critical COVID by 16.00-fold (95% confidence interval 2.40–106.73). The deleter...
