Abstract: Microbial invasion of the skin and underlying soft tissues, known as skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs), contribute to a considerable burden of disease worldwide (Kaye et al., 2019; Lozano et al., 2012). Knowledge about host factors contributing to SSTI risk is important to prevent the SSTIs. The genetics of SSTI susceptibility remain largely unknown, and the only previously published genome-wide study on SSTIs is a small family-based linkage study that did not identify significant linkage to any genes for erysipelas or cellulitis susceptibility (Hannula-Jouppi et al., 2013).
