Leprosy is a chronic infection caused by Mycobacterium leprae which affects skin and peripheral nerves. Various aspects related to genetic and phenotypic variability of the pathogenesis of immune response need to be further studied. In leprosy several polymorphisms of genes involved in the immune response of the host to pathogen were associated with leprosy per se and its clinical course. This present case-control study aimed to examine the possible association between polymorphisms rs2275913 of IL-17 and rs1024611 of MCP-1 with leprosy. The sample was composed of 199 patients and 85 healthy individuals unrelated households of the cases. The polymorphisms were analyzed using the PCR technique Taqman. For statistical analysis we used the sof...
