Association of vitamin D receptor genotype with leprosy type.

The Journal of infectious diseases - 1 Jan 1999

Roy S, Frodsham A, Saha B, Hazra S K, Mascie-Taylor C G, Hill A V

Abstract excerpt

Host genetic factors including major histocompatibility complex (MHC) polymorphisms influence both susceptibility to leprosy per se and also to leprosy type. Non-MHC genes may play an important role, but such genes remain undefined. The influence of two non-MHC candidate genes was assessed in a case-control study of Bengali leprosy patients from Calcutta. Recent studies have implicated variation in the vitamin D...
