Also, in the TLR2 T>C (rs4696483) polymorphism, the T/T and C/T genotype had lower frequency in the leprosy patients than in the control group (7.2% vs. 26.8% and 39.6% vs. 48.2), suggesting protection from leprosy, whenever the T allele is present. This evidence concerns the gene TLR2 and leprosy.
