There is no evidence of differential gene expression of ACTR1A (p = 0.747) or TMEM180 (p = 0.069) in the whole blood of household contacts of leprosy patients in Bangladesh who do not develop disease (n = 40) and those that do (n = 40), either before onset of disease or at diagnosis (S3 Fig) [25]. Here, ACTR1A is linked to leprosy.
