AbstractSARS-CoV-2 has infected over 340 million people, prompting therapeutic research. While genetic studies can highlight potential drug targets, understanding the heritability of SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility and COVID-19 severity can contextualize their results. To date, loci from meta-analyses explain 1.2% and 5.8% of variation in susceptibility and severity respectively.

Abstract Skeletal dysplasias broadly include disorders of cartilage or bone. Omodysplasia-1 is a type of skeletal dysplasia caused by biallelic loss of function variants in the GPC6 gene. GPC6 codes for the protein glypican 6 (GPC6) (OMIM *604404), which stimulates bone growth. We report a family in which five out of nine children were presented with a skeletal dysplasia characterized phenotypically by mild short stature and rhizomelia.
