In a comparison of 141 leprosy patients and 180 healthy individuals, events with statistically significant (p<0.05) differences can be categorized into six categories of individuals with African and European genetic ancestry (10%>20%> 30%>40%>50%>60%), the p-values were adjusted by age and gender.
The analysis in individuals with Amerindian ancestry was not statistically significant.
