Human leukocyte antigen class I and class II alleles are associated with susceptibility and resistance in borderline leprosy patients from Southeast Brazil

Table 3 HLA alleles with statistically significant differences in frequency between patients with reversal reactions and those with no reaction

HLA allele	Reversal reaction (N = 94)		No reaction (N = 94)		p	pc	OR	IC
	n	%	n	%
*B15**	27	28.72	12	12.76	0.011	0.672	2.75	1.30–5.85

N: number of individuals, n: number of alleles (2n), %: allele frequency, p: Fisher’s exact test (p ≤ 0.05), pc: corrected p value, OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval.
