SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped and positive single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) virus and initiates human cell entry by binding of spike (S) protein present on the viral envelope to angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor on the host cells (Zhou et al., 2020b) . Here we surveyed the genetic variants in functional residues of ACE2, TMPRSS2, CTSB/L (CatB/L), and TLR3/7/8 to investigate the difference in the genetic predisposition to the susceptibly of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the initiation of innate immune response. The list of reported genetic variants in the genes and their allele frequencies (AFs) were ACE2 is highly conserved with few nonsynonymous variants in the interacting domain with the SARS-CoV-2 RBM (Lan et al., 2020) . ./cache/cord-338723-3vm23fgy.txt ./txt/cord-338723-3vm23fgy.txt
