LRRK2 SNP Haplotype Association Analysis for Leprosy in Rio de Janeiro

5.5 KB of genetic association data in an XLS file, uploaded to figshare by Isabela Espasandin. The dataset contains results from an analysis linking haplotype combinations of SNPs in the LRRK2 gene with leprosy per se in a Rio de Janeiro cohort. It was last updated on April 27, 2026.

Use Cases

• Replicating association studies for LRRK2 variants and leprosy susceptibility based on the described haplotype analysis.
• Conducting meta-analyses on genetic risk factors for leprosy using the provided Rio de Janeiro cohort results.
• Training or validating polygenic risk score models for infectious disease based on SNP haplotype data.
• Investigating population-specific genetic architecture for leprosy in a Brazilian context.

Strengths

• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, enabling reuse with attribution.
• The 5.5 KB file size indicates a focused, directly usable dataset without excessive bulk.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analyses.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection.
