The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has impacted a large portion of the world population. From a virus genetic perspective, a recent study described what genomic data revealed about the origin and emergence of SARS-CoV-2, proposing stronger action against illegal wildlife trade. In the current “big data” era, an increasing number of large-scale, multidimensional omics data sets were publicly available. Herein, we review how human genetics tells us about the transmission, pathogenesis, susceptibility, severity, and drug prioritization of COVID-19. We further drafted a genetic roadmap of COVID-19, which was also expected to be applicable to other viruses with known receptors. Our review provides insights into the way of understanding a pandemic from a human genetic perspective.
