Green List (high evidence)

NOS2 is part of the list of genes that confer susceptibility to viral infections on the COVID Human Genetic Effort website (https://www.covidhge.com/)

PMID: 31995689 describes a 51 year old man from Iran who had an acute cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection which progressed to CMV disease and later died from it. The researchers found a homozygous variant that causes a frameshift mutation in NOS2 that caused NOS2 deficiency, which might cause the patient to be more susceptible to lethal CMV infection. It is rare for CMV to cause fatality in healthy people; however, Nos2 knockout mice are susceptible to lethal infection with murine CMV (PMID: 11207313).

Based on the above evidence NOS2 has been given Green gene status.
