Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the regulatory region shared by PARK2 and PACRG have been identified as major risk factors for leprosy susceptibility in two ethnically distinct populations. We investigated the association of six SNPs present in this regulatory region with leprosy susceptibility in an Indian population. Genotyping was performed by direct PCR sequencing in 286 leprosy patients and 350...
