Interethnic diversity of the CD209 (rs4804803) gene promoter polymorphism in African but not American sickle cell disease
Elucidating the genomic diversity of CD209 gene promoter polymorphism could assist in clarifying disease pathophysiology as well as contribution to co-morbidities. CD209 gene promoter polymorphism has been shown to be associated with susceptibility to infection. We hypothesize that CD209 mutant vari...
