  ABSTRACT: Dermatophytosis is a fungal infection affecting keratinized tissues such as skin, nails, and hair, presenting as red and itchy patches, nail thickening, or hair loss. It affects around 20% of the global population but the genetic architecture remains poorly understood. We performed a genome-wide association meta-analysis of over 250,000 cases and 1.37 million controls from FinnGen, Estonian Biobank, UK Biobank, and the Million Veteran Program and identified 30 genome-wide significant loci, including seven missense variants and two loci in high linkage disequilibrium with missense variants. Top associations were near ZNF646, HLA-DQB1, FLG, FTO, SLURP2, and KRT77. Additionally, dermatophytosis subtype analyses revealed 44 signals. Our results highlight the role of disrupted keratin
