| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine whether interleukin-10 (IL-10) promoter polymorphisms are associated with leprosy or their subtypes in ethnic groups from southwest China. Genotyping using TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Master Mix and ABI 7500 real-time PCR system was performed for IL-10 T3575A, G2849A, C2763A, A1082G, C819T, and C592A in 189 healthy controls (40 ± 18 years) and 193 patients (46 ± 18 years) with leprosy [multibacillary, N = 131; paucibacillary (PB), N = 62]. The allelic frequencies of -2763C (97.9 vs 94.0%, P = 0.0074) and -1082A (92.8 vs 88.6%, P = 0.0452) in leprosy patients were significantly higher than in control subjects. The genetic frequency of -2763CC and -1082AA was not only significantly higher among leprosy patients than among control subjects [odds ratio (OR) = 3.33, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.39-7.99, P = 0.0071 and OR = 1.76, 95%CI = 1.02-3.03, P = 0.0420, respectively] but also significantly higher among PB patients than among control subjects (OR = 2.46, 95%CI = 1.22-4.96, P = 0.0115 and OR = 5.58, 95%CI = 2.06-15.12, P = 0.0007, respectively). The frequency of IL-10 haplotype 3575A/2849G/2763A/1082G/819C/592C was significantly higher among leprosy patients (OR = 5.57, 95%CI = 1.13-27.52, P = 0.0351) and PB patients (OR = 10.5, 95%CI = 1.36- 81.05, P = 0.0241) than among control subjects. IL-10 promoter -2763C/CC,-1082A/AA and haplotype 3575A/2849G/2763A/1082 G/819C/592C are associated with susceptibility to leprosy and the PB subtype in southwest China. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
