Abstract / Description: 

There are sufficient data demonstrating that coexisting conditions in patients with Covid-19 influence clinical outcomes and that older age and male sex are associated with a greater risk of death. But despite disproportionately higher rates of Covid-19 infection, hospitalization, and death in racial and ethnic minority groups, the direct effects of genetic or biologic host factors remain unknown.
