Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Mycobacterium leprae is able to infect Schwann cells leading to neural damage. Neurotrophins are involved in nervous system plasticity and impact neural integrity during diseases. Investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in neurotrophin genes and leprosy phenotypes, especially neural damage. DESIGN: We selected single nucleotide polymorphisms in neurotrophins or their...
