That said, a statistically significant association was observed in the “CC” genotype between the SNP CCDC122-LACC1 and protection against leprosy in the population of Alagoas (ORCC = 0.58, 95% CI = 0.36–0.93, p = 0.02, adjusted), a result that was replicated in the combined analysis of the populations of Northeastern Brazil (ORCC = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.45–0.94, p = 0.02, adjusted). The gene discussed is LACC1; the disease is leprosy.
