A Missense LRRK2 Variant Is a Risk Factor for Excessive Inflammatory Responses in Leprosy.
Depending on the epidemiological setting, a variable proportion of leprosy patients will suffer from excessive pro-inflammatory responses, termed type-1 reactions (T1R). The LRRK2 gene encodes a multi-functional protein that has been shown to modulate pro-inflammatory responses. Variants near the LR...
