Genetic dissection of immunity in leprosy.

Current opinion in immunology - 1 Feb 2005

Alcaïs Alexandre, Mira Marcelo, Casanova Jean-Laurent, Schurr Erwin, Abel Laurent

Abstract excerpt

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae that affects an estimated 700,000 new individuals each year. A strong contribution of host genetics to susceptibility to leprosy has long been suggested to account for the considerable variability observed between individuals exposed to M. leprae. As there is no relevant animal model for human leprosy, forward genetics is the main strategy...
