The second replicated hit, rs6871626, is located on chromosome 5, 69 kb 5’ to IL12B. A borderline non-significant genome-wide p-value of 6.4x10-8 was obtained for this SNP, with an OR of developing leprosy for AC vs. AA (or CC vs. AC) of 0.73 [0.61–0.84]. The gene discussed is IL12B; the disease is leprosy.
