Abstract excerpt
The minor haplotype -3575A/-2849G/-2763C in IL-10 promoter has been defined as a marker of disease resistance to leprosy and its severity in Brazilian population. Our investigation of six single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL-10 promoter in 282 Indian leprosy patients and 266 healthy controls by direct PCR sequencing, however, showed that the extended haplotype: -3575T/-2849G/-2763C/-1082A/-819C/-592C was...
