http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/27553710http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae), which has massive genomic decay and dependence on host metabolism. Accumulating evidence showed a crucial role of mitochondria in metabolism and innate immunity. We hypothesized that the mitochondrial-related antimicrobial/antiviral immune genes MAVS (mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein), MITA (mediator of IRF3 activation) and MFN2 (mitofusin 2) would confer a risk to leprosy. In this study, we performed a case-control study to analyze 11 tag and/or non-synonymous SNPs of the MAVS, MITA and MFN2 genes in 527 leprosy patients and 583 healthy individuals, and directly sequenced the three genes in 80 leprosy patients with a family history from Yunnan, Southwest China. We found no association between these SNPs and leprosy (including its subtypes) based on the frequencies of alleles, genotypes and haplotypes between the cases and controls. There was also no enrichment of potential pathogenic variants of the three genes in leprosy patients. Our results suggested that genetic variants of the MAVS, MITA and MFN2 genes might not affect the susceptibility to leprosy."xsd:string
