Candidate human genetic polymorphisms and severe malaria in a Tanzanian population.

Candidate human genetic polymorphisms and severe malaria in a Tanzanian population.

Human genetic background strongly influences susceptibility to malaria infection and progression to severe disease and death. Classical genetic studies identified haemoglobinopathies and erythrocyte-associated polymorphisms, as protective against severe disease. High throughput genotyping by mass sp...
