The same pattern of associations was observed in the haplotypes, with ficolin-3 levels being higher in leprosy patients with the *2B1 haplotype (CinsA), than in those without it (32795 vs. 21958 ng/mL, p = 0.033; excluding individuals with the deletion in exon 5), and than in *2B1 controls (20790 ng/ml; p = 0.032). Here, FCN3 is linked to leprosy.
