Snippet: Evidence from observational studies suggested that smokers are at increased risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to assess the causal effect of smoking on risk for COVID-19 susceptibility and severity using two-sample Mendelian randomization method. Smoking-associated variants were selected as instrument variables from two largest genetic studies. The latest summary data of COVID-19 that shared on Jan 18, 2021 by the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative was used. The present Mendel
Document: Evidence from observational studies suggested that smokers are at increased risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to assess the causal effect of smoking on risk for COVID-19 susceptibility and severity using two-sample Mendelian randomization method. Smoking-associated variants were selected as instrument variables from two largest genetic studies. The latest summary data of COVID-19 that shared on Jan 18, 2021 by the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative was used. The present Mendelian randomization study provided genetic evidence that smoking was a causal risk factor for COVID-19 susceptibility and severity. In addition, there may be a dose-effect relationship between smoking and COVID-19 severity.
