Here we post the results from the in-silico follow up analysis done of summary statistics from release 3. Heritability, genetic correlations and MAGMA Summary: We created a map of candidate genomic regions associated with COVID19 phenotypes and explored the functional implications of the candidate variants/genes based on known bioinformatics sources using the functional annotation platform FUMA…
