A total of eight candidate genes of scrub typhus, that is, PRMT6, DTWD2, BATF, JDP2, ONCUT1, KLK4, MAP3K7, and TGFBR2, with p value < 1 × 10−5, belonging to strong LD blocks or belonging to the same signal pathway, were analyzed by MIST to identify protein-protein interaction partners. Here, MAP3K7 is linked to scrub typhus.
