Finally, Li and Oosting et al. found that variants at Golgi membrane protein 1 (GOLM1) are cytokine quantitative trait loci (cQTL) for IL-6 (Li et al., 2016); these cQTL are associated with risk of candidemia and lower levels of IL-6 in candidemia patient serum (Li et al., 2016). Here, IL6 is linked to Candidemia.
