HLA-DRB1 and leprosy: When we subsequently queried the coordinates of the locus on NCBI (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/rs75324027), it was found that the locus rs602875 was the same as the previously reported locus rs602875 in HLA-DR region, which further verified the an association with leprosy within the MHC region (SNP rs602875, next to HLADRB1) (Zhang F. R. et al., 2009).
