SLC11A1 and leprosy: The data from seven multi-case leprosy families (84 individuals) from French Polynesia were analyzed by Roger et al. Nine polymorphic loci and three microsatellite markers (D2S104, D2S173, and D2S1471) within NRAMP1 gene were typed and the results observed suggest that NRAMP1 is not linked to leprosy susceptibility in the French Polynesian families tested (34).
