Blood specimens were obtained from trauma patients when admitted to the hospital within 24 h. The genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood using a genomic DNA purification kit (Promega, Madison, WI, United States). Genotyping was performed using the SNPscan method in all samples following the manufacturer’s instructions (Li et al., 2015). One blank control in each plate was used for genotyping quality control, and 10% of samples were duplicated. The overall concordance rate was 100% among the duplicated samples. The genetic variants with a calling rate of >96%, minor allele frequency (MAF) of >0.01, and Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) at P > 0.01 in the overall trauma cohort were included for further analysis. To calculate the wGRS, only the patients that completely genotyped for all genetic variants were included for investigation.
