Genetics of leprosy: today and beyond.

Human genetics - 1 Jun 2020

Fava Vinicius M, Dallmann-Sauer Monica, Schurr Erwin

Abstract excerpt

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease of the skin and peripheral nerves that presents a strong link with the host genetic background. Different approaches in genetic studies have been applied to leprosy and today leprosy is among the infectious diseases with the greatest number of genetic risk variants identified. Several leprosy genes have been implicated in host immune response to pathogens and point to...
