COVID-19 research v0.217 MX1 Sarah Leigh gene: MX1 was added
gene: MX1 was added to Viral susceptibility. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: MX1 was set to Unknown

Review for gene: MX1 was set to AMBER
Added comment: MX1 is an interferon-induced protein with antiviral activity (PMID 3162334).
PMID 14872030 c.-88G>T was more frequent in 40 unrelated Japanese patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitisis (associated with CNS infection with measles virus), than in 90 controls (0.42 in patients vs 0.29 in controls). Variant c.-88G>T results increased MX1 expression, the authors suggest that MX1 may paradoxically enable persistence of the virus in the CNS by attenuating viral gene expression and preventing complete immunologic clearance.
PMID 21935451 concluded that genetic variation in the interferon response pathway is associated with risk for symptomatic West Nile viru infection and disease progression.
Preprint https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.04.075911 Reports that rs35074065 of TMPRSS2 results in increased expression of the nearby gene MX1.

COVID-19 research v0.214 TMPRSS2 Sarah Leigh changed review comment from: Preprint https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.04.075911 reports rs35074065 of TMPRSS2 results in the overexpression of both TMPRSS2 and a nearby gene MX1. rs35074065 overlaps with a transcription factor binding site of an activator (IRF1) and a repressor (IRF2). IRF1 activator can bind to variant delC allele, but IRF2 repressor fails to bind. Thus, in an individual carrying the delC allele, there is only activation, but no repression. On viral entry, IRF1 mediated upregulation of MX1 leads to neutrophil infiltration and processing of 614G mutated Spike protein by neutrophil Elastase. The simultaneous processing of 614G spike protein by TMPRSS2 and Elastase serine proteases facilitates the entry of the 614G subtype into host cells. Thus, SARS-CoV-2, particularly the 614G subtype, has spread more easily and with higher frequency to Europe and North America where the delC allele regulating expression of TMPRSS2 and MX1 host proteins is common, but not to East Asia where this allele is rare.; to: Preprint https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.04.075911 reports rs35074065 of TMPRSS2 results in the overexpression of both TMPRSS2 and a nearby gene MX1. rs35074065 overlaps with a transcription factor binding site of an activator (IRF1) and a repressor (IRF2).

COVID-19 research v0.165 TMPRSS2 Rebecca Foulger commented on gene: TMPRSS2: Preprint http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.04.23.057190 analysed coding region variants in TMPRSS2 and the eQTL variants which may affect gene experssion. They suggest that lung-specific eQTL variants may confer different susceptibility or response to SARS-CoV-2 infection from different populations. In particular, we found that the regulatory region variant rs35074065 is associated with high expression of TMPRSS2 (but lower expression of MX1).
COVID-19 research v0.165 ACE2 Rebecca Foulger commented on gene: ACE2: Preprint https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.24.050534v1 conclude that higher expression of ACE2 facilitated by natural variations (with different frequencies in different populations) results in ACE2 homo-dimerization which is disadvantageous for TMPRSS2 mediated cleavage of ACE2. They propose that monomeric ACE2 has higher preferential binding with SARS-CoV-2 S-Protein.

COVID-19 research v0.163 TMPRSS2 Rebecca Foulger commented on gene: TMPRSS2: Preprint https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.22.20074963v1 Lopera et al shows a LACK of association between genetic variants at ACE2 and TMPRSS2 and human quantitative phenotypes. The authors recognise that the SARS-CoV-2 virus uses ACE2 for cell invasion, and the serine protease TMPRSS2 for S protein priming and therefore they investigated whether genetic variation in these two genes modulates an individual's genetic predisposition to infection and virus clearance. They examined 178 quantitative phenotypes in relation to 1,273 genetic variants located in or near ACE2 and TMPRSS2: none reached the threshold for significance though these variants may play a role in diseases such as hypertension and chronic inflammation that are often observed in the more severe COVID-19 cases.
