COVID-19 research v1.29 IFITM3 Sarah Leigh changed review comment from: IFITM3 was identified through an OMIM search for potential viral susceptibility genes. Initial triage by Illumina (Alison Coffey and team) was given a Tier 3 grouping (experimental evidence and association data consistent with viral susceptibility); to: IFITM3 was identified through an OMIM search for potential viral susceptibility genes. Initial triage by Illumina (Alison Coffey and team) was given a Tier 3 grouping (experimental evidence and association data consistent with viral susceptibility). Illumina review: PMID: 20064371 Brass et al. (2009) used a functional genomic screen to identify IFITM3 as an antiviral restriction factor in influenza A H1N1 viral infection. Further characterization showed IFITM3 inhibits the early replication of flaviviruses, including dengue virus and West Nile virus. PMID: 27384652 Gorman et al. (2016) Ifitm3(-/-) mice are more vulnerable to lethal WNV infection than their wildtype littermates, this was associated with greater virus accumulation in peripheral organs and central nervous system tissues. PMID: 22446628 Everitt et al. (2012). Ifitm3(-/-) mice display fulminant viral pneumonia when challenged with a normally low-pathogenicity influenza virus, a phenotype which may be rescued by the re-introduction of Ifitm3. PMID: 22446628 Everitt et al. (2012). A statistically significant number of hospitalized with seasonal or pandemic influenza H1N1/09 viruses subjects show enrichment for a minor IFITM3 allele (SNP rs12252-C). This SNP alters a splice acceptor site, and functional assays show the minor CC genotype IFITM3 has reduced influenza virus restriction in vitro. PMID: 23361009 Zhang et al. (2013) In a Han Chinese patient population, the rs12252-C, CC genotype was found in 69% of Chinese patients with severe pandemic influenza A H1N1/09 virus infection compared with 25% in those with mild infection. The CC genotype was estimated to confer a sixfold greater risk for severe infection than the CT and TT genotypes. PMID: 25942469 Yang et al. (2015) performed meta-analysis of four studies consisting of 445 cases and 4180 controls. A significant association between a minor IFITM3 allele (SNP rs12252-C) with severe influenza susceptibility, but not in mild influenza subjects, in both UK Caucasians and Han Chinese population was confirmed. The rs12252-C allele causes a 23.7% higher chance of infection and also constitutes a risk factor for more severe influenza.

COVID-19 research v0.173 IFITM3 Ivone Leong Classified gene: IFITM3 as Green List (high evidence)
COVID-19 research v0.173 IFITM3 Ivone Leong Added comment: Comment on list classification: PMID: 32348495 reports that individuals who are homozygous for the C allele of rs12252 SNP in IFITM3 is associated with more severe disease in older patients. This SNP is common in Asian populations (MAF reported on dbSNP for East Asians: 0.57; Europeans: 0.0546). This study was condicted in China with 80 patients who were confirmed to be positive for COVID-19.

PMID: 23361009 found that homozygous C allele of rs12252 is in 69% of Chinese patients who were infected with severe pandemic influenza A H1N1/09 virus infection compared with 25% who had mild infection. The homozygous C allele for rs12252 is associated with a 6-fold greater risk for severe infection than CT and TT genotypes.

Based on these studies there is enough evidence to promote this gene to Green status.
