Genome-wide association study of chlamydia reinfection in African American women
This GWAS study in AA women identified multiple novel genes associated with chlamydia reinfection, including <i>CHIT1, CHI3L1, ADORA1, ALK, TDRP, FBXO25, LINC01592, SULF1</i>, and <i>SOCS6</i>, which are involved in the immune response. <i>CHIT1, ADORA1, CHI3L1, TDRP, FBOXO25</i>, <i>SULF1</i>, and <i>SOCS6</i> were identified using CI/eQTL mapping.
