Identification of host genetic factors that predispose individuals to severe COVID-19 is important, not only for understanding the disease and guiding the development of treatments, but also for risk prediction when combined to form a polygenic risk score (PRS). Using population controls, Pairo-Castineira et al. identified 12 SNPs (a panel of 8 SNPs and a panel of 6 SNPs, with two SNPs in both panels) associated with severe COVID-19. Using controls with asymptomatic or mild COVID-19, we were able to replicate the association with severe COVID-19 for only three of their SNPs and found marginal evidence for an association for one other. When combined as an 8-SNP PRS and a 6-SNP PRS, we found no evidence of association with severe COVID-19. The difference in our results and the results of Pairo-Castineira et al. might be the choice of controls: population controls vs controls with asymptomatic or mild COVID-19.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
