Functional biomarker signatures in subgroups of Leprosy patients and Household contacts. a Overlaid biomarker signatures of subgroups of Household contacts (HHC(PB) =  and HHC(MB) =  ) and subgroups of Leprosy patients (L(PB) =  and L(MB) =  ) were assembled to select biomarkers above the global median cut-off with proportion higher than the 50% in each group (black/white background rectangles). These attributes were tagged in bold format. b Venn diagram report was employed to identify the set of biomarkers selectively increased in each subgroup of Household contacts and subgroups of Leprosy patients. These attributes were highlighted in bold underline format
