The complement system plays multiple roles in host defense against infection and is supposed to confer genetic susceptibility to leprosy. We aimed to examine whether genetic variants of the Ficolin-2 (FCN2), Mannose-binding lectin (MBL2) and Complement factor H (CFH) genes, which are involved in activation and regulation of the complement system, are associated with leprosy in Han Chinese from Southwest...
