Genotyping
HAND INFECTION
Human genomic DNA was extracted from PBMC using an automated DNA extraction instrument (Autopure LS; Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Genotyping of the selected functionally important SNPs in immune response and infection resistance related genes was performed by the Australian Genome Research Facility (AGRF) using the iPLEX assay on the MassARRAY system (Sequenom, San Diego, CA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. All analysed genotypes are listed in Additional file
