The GWAS on candidemia susceptibility was previously described [48] . In short, upon quality control per SNP and sample, this GWAS was performed in a cohort of 161 candidemia cases and 152 disease-matched controls of European ancestry whose demographic and clinical characteristics have been previously described [53] . DNA was genotyped using Illumina HumanCoreExome-12 v1.0 and HumanCoreExome-24 v1.0 BeadChip SNP chips. Genotypes were imputed using the human reference consortium (HRC) panel [71] (link) using the Michigan imputation server [29] (link). In total, 5,426,313 SNPs were tested for disease association using Fisher’s exact test with PLINK v1.9 [84] (link). Detailed results and statistics can be found in Table 1.
