Human leukocyte antigen-G 3' untranslated region polymorphism +3142G/C (rs1063320) and haplotypes are associated with manifestations of the American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis in a Northeastern Brazilian population.
IFNG variant rs2069705 seems to be a genetic modifier of clinical outcome of Leishmania infection; individuals with the H1 haplotype, associated with low levels of IFN-γ, have a 60% risk of developing CL.
The polymorphisms rs5743899 and rs3750920 in the TOLLIP gene were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis in 631 patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by L. guyanensis and 530 individuals with no history of leishmaniasis.
