HMOX1 gene promoter alleles and high HO-1 levels are associated with severe malaria in Gambian children.

HMOX1 gene promoter alleles and high HO-1 levels are associated with severe malaria in Gambian children.

Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is an essential enzyme induced by heme and multiple stimuli associated with critical illness. In humans, polymorphisms in the HMOX1 gene promoter may influence the magnitude of HO-1 expression. In many diseases including murine malaria, HO-1 induction produces protective anti...
