Optical genome mapping identifies rare structural variations as predisposition factors associated with severe COVID-19

Summary: Impressive global efforts have identified both rare and common gene variants associated with severe COVID-19 using sequencing technologies. However, these studies lack the sensitivity to accurately detect several classes of variants, especially large structural variants (SVs), which account...
