COVID-19 research v0.302 TMPRSS11A Eleanor Williams gene: TMPRSS11A was added
gene: TMPRSS11A was added to COVID-19 research. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: TMPRSS11A was set to Unknown
Publications for gene: TMPRSS11A were set to https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.13.093690
Review for gene: TMPRSS11A was set to RED
Added comment: Preprint: Klaassen et al https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.13.093690 - performed analysis of variants in FURIN, PLG, PRSS1, TMPRSS11a, MBL2 and OAS1 genes in 143 unrelated individuals from Serbian population and identified 22 variants with potential functional effect. Then used in-silico prediction and comparative population analysis and found 2 rare variants p.Lys48Arg and p.Arg328Gln. For both of these variants, PolyPhen-2, SIFT and MutPred2
algorithms predict benign/tolerated effect but the protein structure of TMPRSS11a is not well known.

Then used in-silico prediction and comparative population analysis and found two rare variants in the PRSS1 gene, c.592-8C>T and p.Asn54Lys. Variant c.592-8C>T was previously detected
in patients with cystic fibrosis presenting with chronic pancreatitis and p.Asn54Lys is predicted to be possibly damaging.

Then used in-silico prediction and comparative population analysis and found 6 rare variants in PLG. p.Arg261His and p.Ala494Val are predicted to be probably damaging/deleterious.

COVID-19 research v0.299 FURIN Eleanor Williams commented on gene: FURIN: Preprint: Klaassen et al https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.13.093690 - performed analysis of variants in FURIN, PLG, PRSS1, TMPRSS11a, MBL2 and OAS1 genes in 143 unrelated individuals from Serbian population and identified 22 variants with potential functional effect. Then used in-silico prediction and comparative population analysis and found two rare variants in FURIN p.Thr33Ala and p.Gly146Ser. p.Gly146Ser. is predicted to be deleterious and may change its ability
to cleave furin-like sites in the S protein of the SARS-CoV-2.

COVID-19 research v0.210 FURIN Rebecca Foulger Classified gene: FURIN as Amber List (moderate evidence)
COVID-19 research v0.210 FURIN Rebecca Foulger Added comment: Comment on list classification: Updated rating from Red to Amber: Although no SNP studies, or potential variants identified yet, recent papers (e.g. PMID:32362314) and preprints have identified a role for Furin protease activity in SARS-CoV-2 entry into human cells. Therefore changes to Furin sequence could potentially alter viral susceptibility.
COVID-19 research v0.210 FURIN Rebecca Foulger Gene: furin has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
COVID-19 research v0.209 FURIN Rebecca Foulger commented on gene: FURIN: PMID:32362314. Hoffmann et al., 2020 report that Furin cleaves the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein at the S1/S2 site, and that cleavage is essential for S-protein-mediated cell-cell fusion and entry into human lung cells. Therefore furin may be a potential target for therapuetic intervention.
COVID-19 research v0.209 FURIN Rebecca Foulger commented on gene: FURIN: PMID:25974265. Hardes et al., 2015. Furing is required for H7N1 and H5N1 influenza virus infection, probably by cleaving hemagglutinin. Therefore inhibition of Furin is a potential strategy for short-term treatment of acute infectious diseases, including avian influenza.
