Genetic and serum markers in human host can predict leprosy susceptibility per se as well as be useful in classification and/or prediction of clinical variants and immunological responses in leprosy. Adequate and timely assessment of potential risks associated with these 38 host leprosy genes could diminish epidemiological burden and improve life quality of patients with this still prevalent mycobacterial disease.
人类宿主中的遗传和血清标志物本身可以预测麻风病易感性,并且有助于麻风病的分类和/或临床变异和免疫反应的预测。充分和及时评估与这 38 个宿主麻风病基因相关的潜在风险,可以减轻流行病学负担,提高这种仍然流行的分枝杆菌病患者的生活质量。
