Abstract excerpt
We have determined IL-10 promoter genotypes of five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): T-3575A, A-2849G, C-2763A, -A-1082G and C-819T. The haplotype frequencies were defined in healthy subjects compared to leprosy patients, and analyzed for their occurrence in multi- (MB) vs paucibacillary (PB) as severe and mild forms of leprosy, respectively. Haplotypes defined by three SNP positions (-3575, -2849 and...
