INTRODUCTION: Studies in different populations have shown that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) and TNF receptors 1 and 2 (TNFR1 and TNFR2) may be involved in the pathogenesis of lepromatous leprosy (LL). To further explore the results in a Mexican population, we compared the frequencies of the polymorphisms in - 308 G>A TNFA (rs1800629), - 383 A>C TNFRS1A (rs2234649),...
