The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Host genetic variation in immune regulation and cell signalling genes was associated with microbiome composition across vaginal, gut, oral and skin sites, while associations involving metabolic function, epithelial barrier integrity and hormonal processes were more site‐specific. Overall, our findings indicate that host genetic variation contributes to
