Moreover, genetic variants in TLR1, TLR2, TLR4, and TLR6 genes have been associated with autoimmune, infectious and inflammatory diseases, such as leprosy, pulmonary tuberculosis, atopic dermatitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (6, 15, 22, 23, 28, 29). The gene discussed is TLR6; the disease is leprosy.
