Fernández-Mestre M et al. - The results indicate that the polymorphism of CTLA-4 is an important genetic factor associated with risk or protection for the development of diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis and has influence in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. However, other closely linked candidate genes in linkage disequilibrium with CTLA4, such as CD28 and ICOS, could be associated with the development of autoimmune and infectious disease.
