Shingles GWAS identifies seven immune loci and effects on stroke and autoimmunity

2026-08-17

Abstract excerpt

Shingles (herpes zoster), caused by reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV), affects approximately one third of the global population. Besides environmental factors, host genetics play a role in determining susceptibility to shingles. Here, we performed a large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of shingles across five cohorts comprising 72,935 cases and 1,644,597 controls of European an...
