Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Two regulatory polymorphisms (rs1040079 and rs9356058) shared by PARK2 and PACRG genes were identified as major risk variants for leprosy susceptibility. The aim of this study was to investigate if allele frequencies of these polymorphisms in the isolated population of the island of Mljet, which served as a quarantine for leprosy patients during past centuries, were different to allele frequencies...
