Figure 1. HLA alleles associated with higher risk of hospitalization in a COVID-19 positive patient cohort.
COVID-19 positive patients were split into two groups per allele tested, depending on whether they were predicted to have the HLA allele under scrutiny or not. We ran the Kaplan-Meier estimator (R package survival) using the Overmyer et al. cohort [20] HFD-45 metric for estimating the remission probability of patients without or with alleles (a) A*11:01, (b) C*04:01 or (c) DQA1*01:02 and mechanical ventilator-free days to estimate the statistical significance of the more severe disease outcome observed in COVID-19 patients with (d) C*04:01. Log-rank p values were calculated for each (R package survminer) and are indicated on the plots.
