TL;DR: The COVID Human Genetic Effort established to test the general hypothesis that life-threatening COVID-19 in some or most patients may be caused by monogenic inborn errors of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 with incomplete or complete penetrance finds an enrichment in variants predicted to be loss-of-function (pLOF), with a minor allele frequency <0.001.

TL;DR: The majority of patients were constitutionally small, with 36% of patients below the 3rd centile for either height or weight parameters, and the majority of surviving patients were developmentally normal or had only mild learning problems.

TL;DR: These findings implicate pathways that integrate epidermal barrier dysfunction with innate and adaptive immune dysregulation in psoriasis pathogenesis and report compelling evidence for an interaction between the HLA-C and ERAP1 loci.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies and independent data sets genotyped on the Immunochip identified 15 new susceptibility loci, increasing to 36 the number associated with psoriasis in European individuals, and identified five independent signals within previously known loci.

TL;DR: Pat skin fibroblasts showed nuclei that presented abnormal lamin A/C distribution and a dysmorphic envelope, thus demonstrating the pathogenic effect of the R527H LMNA mutation, which was shared by all affected patients.
