Blood RNA signature RISK4LEP predicts leprosy years before clinical onset. Blood RNA signature RISK4LEP predicts leprosy years before clinical onset

Exploratory RNA expression analysis during development of leprosy allows identification of RISK4LEP, a 4-gene blood RNA signature predicting leprosy years before clinical onset. Overall design: Comparison of blood transcriptomics in leprosy progressors before symptoms (First), at diagnosis (Second) and household contact controls (HHC)
