Data on infection and death caused by SARS-CoV-2 in the HLA-A*02:01- or HLA-A*24:02-positive population worldwide at two time points. (a) Data on the HLA-A*24:02-positive population in the indicated countries, which is derived from the Allelic Frequency Net Database (AFND, http://www.allelefrequencies.net/) [54]. (b, c )Correlation between HLA- A*24:02 and (b) COVID-19 cases [cumulative total per 105 population] and (c) COVID-19 deaths [cumulative total per 105 population]. These data were derived from the WHO Coronavirus (COVID-19) Dashboard (https://covid19.who.int/). (d) Data on the HLA-A*02:01-positive population in the indicated countries. (e, f) Correlation of HLA-A*02:01 with (e) COVID-19 cases [cumulative total per 105 population] and (f) COVID-19 deaths [cumulative total per 105 population]. Pearson’s correlation coefficients (Pearson’s r) are shown
