Venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs in up to one third patients with COVID-19. VTE and COVID-19 may share a common genetic architecture, which has not been clarified yet. To fill this gap, we leveraged summary-level genetic data from the latest COVID-19 host genetics consortium and UK Biobank and examined the shared genetic etiology and causal relationship between COVID-19 and VTE. The cross-trait analysis identified 8, 11, and 7 shared loci between VTE and severe COVID-19, COVID-19 hospitalization, SARS-CoV-2 infection respectively, in 13 genes involved in coagulation and immune function and enriched in the lung. Co-localization analysis identified eight shared loci in ABO, ADAMTS13 and FUT2 genes. Bi-direction Mendelian randomization suggested that VTE was associated with higher risks of all COVID-19 related traits, and SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with higher risk of VTE. Our study provided timely evidence and novel insights into the genetic etiology between COVID-19 and VTE.
