We found that rs17235409 (D543N) and rs17235416 (1729 + 55del4) are significantly associated with a risk for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), whereas rs17221959, rs2279015, and rs17235409 are associated with visceral leishmaniasis (VL).
Two polymorphisms were each significantly associated in the genotypes with visceral leishmaniasis: 823C/T in exon 8 and D543N in exon 15 when comparing visceral leishmaniasis and DTH+ groups.
