One PINK1 SNP (rs4704) showed an association with leprosy per se when compared with healthy control population from the Yuxi area (Pdominant = 0.033), and the association survived (TT vs. TC vs. CC, Pgenotypic = 0.004; Pdominant = 0.027) when we compared the patients with the pooled controls (Table 2). The gene discussed is PINK1; the disease is leprosy.
