Comparison of copy numbers of short tandem repeat loci from multiple biopsies taken from the same anatomical location at different times, from individual patients in Malawi.

<p>The initial biopsies of patients 4 and 5 are included in <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0000214#pntd-0000214-t003" target="_blank">Tables 3</a> and <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0000214#pntd-0000214-t004" target="_blank">4</a>, respectively.</p>*<p>The biopsy from patient 8 in 1990 was considered by the histopathologist to show “normal epidermis”.</p

Distribution of copy numbers of seven different short tandem repeat loci in the 43 Malawi biopsies.

<p>Numbers in the table give the number of biopsies with each particular number of copies of each of seven tandem repeat loci. The “reference” strain was derived from a patient in USA; the “sequence” strain was derived from a South Indian patient (Cole et al, 2001).</p

Comparison of copy numbers of short tandem repeat loci in biopsies from patients in multicase families in India.

<p>All members of each family group lived in the same household residence except for individuals marked ^*, who lived in separate residences nearby, and individual marked ^** who lived in another household, in another village. Abbreviations: <i>rrxn = </i>reversal reaction (type 1 reaction); <i>rel = </i>relapse; <i>enl = </i>erythema nodosum leprosum (type 2 reaction).</p
