Results showed significant differences in genotype Thr399Ile and recessive model frequencies between VL and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH+) groups (p=0.018, OR=0.414CI 0.195-0.880; p=0.029, OR=0.448CI 0.214-0.938], respectively) by having the amino-acid threonine polymorphism as a reference in the VL group.
Genotyping of A896G (Asp299Gly) and C1196T (Thr399Ile) SNPs was performed in the patients with VL (N = 122) and ethnically matched controls (N = 155) using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method.
