<i>ACTR1A</i>has pleiotropic effects on risk of leprosy, inflammatory bowel disease and atopy

2022-01-31

Abstract excerpt

Leprosy is a chronic infection of the skin and peripheral nerves caused by Mycobacterium leprae . Despite recent improvements in disease control, leprosy remains an important cause of infectious disability globally. Large-scale genetic association studies in Chinese, Vietnamese and Indian populations have identified over 30 susceptibility loci for leprosy. There is a significant burden of leprosy in Africa, howeve...
