Individuals with autosomal and X-linked recessive deficiency of IRAK-4 and MyD88 are more susceptible to developing hypoxemic COVID-19 pneumonia

Researchers identified that individuals with a deficiency of myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88) and interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK-4) due to an autosomal recessive condition were highly susceptible to developing hypoxemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia when infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
