Ankyrin-1 Gene Exhibits Allelic Heterogeneity in Conferring Protection Against Malaria

Ankyrin-1 Gene Exhibits Allelic Heterogeneity in Conferring Protection Against Malaria

Allelic heterogeneity is a common phenomenon where a gene exhibits a different phenotype depending on the nature of its genetic mutations. In the context of genes affecting malaria susceptibility, it allowed us to explore and understand the intricate host–parasite interactions during malaria infecti...
