Autophagy gene polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to leprosy by affecting inflammatory cytokines.

Inflammation - 1 Apr 2014

Yang Degang, Chen Jia, Shi Chao, Jing Zhichun, Song Ningjing

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy and inflammation closely interact with each other, and together, they play critical roles in bacterial infection. Leprosy is caused by the infection of Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae). The objective of the study was to investigate the association between polymorphisms in IRGM, an autop...
