The clinical outcome of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) varies considerably from one individual to another and severe illness occurs only in a minority of cases.

It seems that host genetic background affects the balance of immune responses during SARS-CoV-2 infection, leading to different clinical courses of the disease
