Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated the association between the occurrence of leprosy and several host genetic variants that can vary across different ethnic groups and populations. Since leprosy susceptibility genes have not been investigated in detail in the Bangladeshi population that still includes highly endemic areas, we here studied known associations between leprosy and 13 genetic markers located in 11 genes in a leprosy endemic area in Bangladesh for which an association with leprosy was previously found in an isolated former leprosy colony in the Brazilian Amazon. For this study, a family-based analysis using 60 parent-affected child trios was performed, followed by a case-control study of 210 leprosy patients and 189 healthy controls from the same area (endemic controls). Genotypes for 11 markers were determined by TaqMan SNP genotyping. In the family-based study, a significant association was found between leprosy and three single nucleotide polymorphisms, rs1801224, rs13001714, and rs1801582, located in the CUBN, IL1RL1, and PRKN genes, respectively. These findings were not replicated in the case-control sample. Variants in the CUBN, IL1RL1, and PRKN genes were associated with leprosy in Bangladesh, validating the initial Brazilian finding in a population sample of distinct ethnic background.
期刊介绍：
We publish original research from all areas of the natural sciences, psychology, medicine and engineering. You can learn more about what we publish by browsing our specific scientific subject areas below or explore Scientific Reports by browsing all articles and collections.
Scientific Reports has a 2-year impact factor: 4.380 (2021), and is the 6th most-cited journal in the world, with more than 540,000 citations in 2020 (Clarivate Analytics, 2021).
•Engineering
Engineering covers all aspects of engineering, technology, and applied science. It plays a crucial role in the development of technologies to address some of the world''s biggest challenges, helping to save lives and improve the way we live.
•Physical sciences
Physical sciences are those academic disciplines that aim to uncover the underlying laws of nature — often written in the language of mathematics. It is a collective term for areas of study including astronomy, chemistry, materials science and physics.
•Earth and environmental sciences
Earth and environmental sciences cover all aspects of Earth and planetary science and broadly encompass solid Earth processes, surface and atmospheric dynamics, Earth system history, climate and climate change, marine and freshwater systems, and ecology. It also considers the interactions between humans and these systems.
•Biological sciences
Biological sciences encompass all the divisions of natural sciences examining various aspects of vital processes. The concept includes anatomy, physiology, cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics, and covers all organisms from microorganisms, animals to plants.
•Health sciences
The health sciences study health, disease and healthcare. This field of study aims to develop knowledge, interventions and technology for use in healthcare to improve the treatment of patients.
