Abstract excerpt

Two genetic loci, viz. COL3A and CTLA4, located within the chromosome 2q31-33 region in the vicinity of the proposed syntenic site of the mouse "Bcg" locus were genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction in leprosy patients and healthy individuals. All the subjects studied were assessed as in-vitro responders/non-responders to mycobacterial antigens. Simple sequence length polymorphism analysis revealed five (236...
