Summary: A variant near the DOCK2 gene on chromosome 5 is associated with severe COVID-19 in patients under 65 years old, with this risk allele being more prevalent in East Asian individuals and rare in Europeans. Decreased expression of DOCK2 is observed in younger patients with severe cases of COVID-19, particularly in non-classical monocytes. Suppressed DOCK2 expression is also found in lung specimens from severe COVID-19 pneumonia patients. Inhibition of DOCK2 function exacerbates the severity of pneumonia in a hamster model of SARS-CoV-2 infection. These findings suggest that DOCK2 plays an important role in the host immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and the development of severe COVID-19.
