type: Assertion
description: [Results to date demonstrate: (1) the major histocompatibility complex (MHC:H-2 in mouse, HLA in humans: mouse chromosome 17/human 6p; candidates class II and class III including tumour necrosis factor alpha/beta genes) shows both linkage to, and allelic association with, leprosy per se, but is only weakly associated with visceral leishmaniasis and shows neither linkage to, nor allelic association with, tuberculosis; (2) no evidence for linkage between NRAMP1, the positionally cloned candidate for the murine macrophage resistance gene Ity/Lsh/Bcg (mouse chromosome 1/human 2q35), and susceptibility to tuberculosis or visceral leishmaniasis; (3) the region of human chromosome 17q (candidates NOS2A, SCYA2-5) homologous with distal mouse chromosome 11 is linked to tuberculosis susceptibility; and (4) the T helper 2 cytokine gene cluster (proximal murine chromosome 11/human 5p; candidates IL4, IL5, IL9, IRF1, CD14) is not linked to human disease susceptibility for any of the three infections, but shows linkage to and highly significant allelic association with ability to mount an immune response to mycobacterial antigens.].
