The top three variants associated with prevalent infection were clustered in Krüppel-like Factor 12 gene (KLF12), while those associated with persistent infection were near Death Associated Protein gene (DAP), Catenin Delta 2 (CTNND2), MicroRNA 365b gene (MIR365-2) and Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 5 Group A Member 2 gene (NR5A2). Here, KLF12 is linked to infection.
