Association between Human Genetic Variants and the Vaginal Bacteriome of Pregnant Women

Association between Human Genetic Variants and the Vaginal Bacteriome of Pregnant Women

ABSTRACT The influence of human genetic variants on the vaginal bacterial traits (VBTs) of pregnant women is still unknown. Using a genome-wide association approach based on the 16S rRNA bacteriome analysis, a total of 72 host genetic variant (single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs], indels, or copy...
