Host genetic factors can confer resistance against malaria1, raising the question of whether this has led to evolutionary adaptation of parasite populations. Here we searched for association between candidate host and parasite genetic variants in 3,3

Severe falciparum malaria is a major cause of preventable child mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. The sequestration of parasitized erythrocytes in the microvasculature of vital organs is a central pathophysiological feature. The plasma concentration o

Haplotype heterogeneity and low linkage disequilibrium reduce reliable prediction of genotypes for the ‑α3.7I form of α-thalassaemia using genome-wide microarray data [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Background: The -α3.7I-thalassaemia deletion is very common throughout Africa because it protects against malaria. When undertaking studies to investigate human genetic adaptations to malaria or other diseases, it is important to account for any con

Two complement receptor one alleles have opposing associations with cerebral malaria and interact with ethalassaemia

Malaria has been a major driving force in the evolution of the human genome. In sub-Saharan African populations, two neighbouring polymorphisms in the Complement Receptor One (CR1) gene, named Sl2 and McCb, occur at high frequencies, consistent with
