TL;DR: Identity by Descent and Homozygosity analyses find Kuwait’s population to be heterogeneous with Kuwait S as highly endogamous, and Kuwait B as diverse, while results of analysis for genetic features such as linkage disequilibrium decay patterns conform to Kuwait's geographical location at the nexus of Africa, Europe, and Asia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that genomic recombination between different strains may contribute to SARS-CoV-2 virulence and COVID-19 severity and may present additional challenges for current treatment regimens and countermeasures.

TL;DR: The first genome resource imperative for designing future genetic studies in Saudi Arabian tribe subgroup is presented and a set of 2,485 SNPs show significantly different allele frequencies when compared to populations from other continents.

TL;DR: Genotyping COVID-19 patients for SNPs examined in this study will help identify those at greatest risk of complications linked to thrombosis, and uncover the genetic basis of the above conditions by examining genome-wide associations and tissue-specific gene expression to build a molecular network.

TL;DR: The resource provides a starting point for designing large-scale genetic studies in Peninsula including Kuwait, and Persian population and positions the sequenced genome between Asian and European genomes in congruence with geographical location of the region.
