All subjects were residents of neighborhoods outside or peripheral to Natal, Brazil. (A) provides details of the total number of individuals by phenotype included in the study. (B) shows the distribution of VL, DTH+ and DTH− phenotypes by nuclear family. A total of 102 pedigrees containing 156 nuclear families were studied.
