MAPK8 and infection: In a previous report we tested for association with vaccine-induced peak anti-HBs, which is predictive of long-term vaccine efficacy, as well as protection against infection and persistent carriage, and identified single SNP associations in CD58 (rs1414275, rs1016140), IFNG (rs2069727), MAPK8 (rs3827680, rs10857565), IL10RA (rs2508450, rs2229113) and CD44 (rs353644, rs7937602), and multi-marker associations in IFNG, MAPK8, IL10RA at the Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) level of >1.5 or <0.6 at p≤0.001 level (for details see table 3 and supplementary table S2 in [17]).
