MDcovid DNA Study

How does Covid-19 see you?


Thank you for your interest in this important effort to understand the genetic influencers of Covid-19.

MDcovid's study involves analyzing DNA and a few short survey questions and comparing results.

Upon uploading your DNA, you will receive a graphical representation, like the example below, of how Covid sees you. In the image, each dot reflects a specific variant on some of your genes that code the proteins known to interact with COVID-19. By studying these patterns, researchers can begin to understand the genetic influencers of Covid-19 and eventually develop therapies to treat the disease.


DNA data that you upload to this site will only be used for the purpose of understanding Covid-19 per the terms and conditions of this study.  Your DNA data* is available from the company that prepared your results and is easily exportable.   Please see our frequently asked questions for more information.
