We also found that the leading SNP in the IL18RAP locus showed concordant effects on the risk between leprosy and asthma, whereas the leading SNPs in the novel locus chr12:57,665,085‐58,665,085 and the IL27 locus showed discordant effects on the risk between leprosy and rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, IBD, CD, and UC (Table S11). Here, IL27 is linked to leprosy.
