BackgroundDuring the current worldwide pandemic, coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) was first diagnosed in Iceland at end of February. However, data are limited on how SARS-CoV-2, virus that causes Covid-19, enters and spreads a population.MethodsWe targeted testing to persons living who were high risk for infection (mainly those symptomatic, had recently traveled high-risk countries, or contact with infected persons). We also carried out population screening using two strategies: issuing...

Little is known about the nature and durability of humoral immune response to infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).We measured antibodies in serum samples from 30,576 persons Iceland, using six assays (including two pan-immunoglobulin [pan-Ig] assays), we determined that appropriate measure seropositivity was a positive result both pan-Ig assays. We tested 2102 collected 1237 up 4 months after diagnosis by quantitative polymerase-chain-reaction (qPCR)...

Sequence variants in the parental genomes that are not transmitted to a child (the proband) often ignored genetic studies. Here we show nontransmitted alleles can affect through their impacts on parents and other relatives, phenomenon call "genetic nurture." Using results from meta-analysis of educational attainment, find polygenic score computed for 21,637 probands with at least one parent genotyped has an estimated effect attainment proband is 29.9% (P = 1.6 × 10-14) score.
