IL10 and leprosy: Malhotra et al. (94) in a Indian population observed that the extended haplotype IL10-3575T/-2849G/-2763C/-1082A/-819C/-592C conferred resistance to leprosy per se and to development of more severe forms of disease, whereas the haplotype IL10-3575T/-2849G/-2763C/-1082A/-819T/-592A was associated with the risk of severe form of the disease.
