The project was led by the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM) in Helsinki and the prestigious Karolinska Institutet (Stockholm, Sweden). Italy made a significant contribution through the participation of the COVID-19 Genomic Study Foundation, Fondazione IRCCS Ca&#8217; Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico of Milan, and GEN-COVID, a consortium of more than 40 Italian hospitals, led by Prof. Alessandra Renieri of the University of Siena and Azienda Ospedaliero-universitaria Senese,   <b>With co-funding from PNRR THE -Tuscany Health Ecosystem <a href=\"https:\/\/tuscanyhealthecosystem.it\/en\/spoke-7\/\">spoke no. 7 (Translational medicine)  <\/a><\/b> and COVID-19 Tuscany Region research call. In particular, data from the two studies were analyzed thanks to the collaboration of Prof. Luca Valenti from the University of Milan and researchers Francesca Colombo and Francesca Minnai from the Institute of Biomedical Technologies of the National Research Council (CNR-Itb), respectively. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published in Nature Genetics is the international study that has for the first time identified new genetic variants associated with the risk of developing the syndrome, known to cause chronic fatigue, cognitive and respiratory difficulties, and muscle pain.
