Functional haplotypes of Fc gamma (Fcγ) receptor (FcγRIIA and FcγRIIIB) predict risk to repeated episodes of severe malarial anemia and mortality in Kenyan children.
(Pub Med Central, 2012-02)
Development of protective immunity against Plasmodium falciparum is partially mediated through binding of malaria-specific IgG to Fc gamma (γ) receptors. Variation in human FcγRIIA-H/R-131 and FcγRIIIB-NA1/NA2 affect ...
Reduced interferon (IFN)-α conditioned by IFNA2 (-173) and IFNA8 (-884) haplotypes is associated with enhanced susceptibility to severe malarial anemia and longitudinal all-cause mortality
(Pub Med Central, 2012-08)
Severe malarial anemia (SMA) is a leading cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality in holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas. Although dysregulation in cytokine production is an important etiology of SMA, ...
Functional promoter haplotypes of interleukin-18 condition susceptibility to severe malarial anemia and childhood mortality
(Pub Med Central, 2011-12)
Severe malarial anemia (SMA) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children residing in regions where Plasmodium falciparum transmission is holoendemic. Although largely unexplored in children with SMA, ...
Reduced Systemic Bicyclo-Prostaglandin-E2 and Cyclooxygenase-2 Gene Expression are Associated with Inefficient Erythropoiesis and Enhanced Uptake of Monocytic Hemozoin in Children with Severe Malarial Anemia
(Pub Med Central, 2012-08)
In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas, severe malaria primarily occurs in children <48 mos. and manifests as severe malarial anemia [SMA; hemoglobin (Hb)<6.0 g/dL]. Induction of high levels of prostaglandin-E2 ...
Association between Fcγ receptor IIA, IIIA and IIIB genetic polymorphisms and susceptibility to severe malaria anemia in children in western Kenya.
(BMC infectious diseases, 2017-04)
BACKGROUND:
Naturally-acquired immunity to Plasmodium falciparum malaria develops after several episodes of infection. Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) bind to immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies and mediate phagocytosis of ...
(−7402 T/G and -4729G/A) condition susceptibility to pediatric severe malarial anemia but not circulating IL-13 levels
(Bio Med Central, 2013)
In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas such as western Kenya, severe malarial anemia [SMA, hemoglobin (Hb) < 6.0 g/dL, with any density parasitemia] is the most common clinical manifestation of severe ...
Functional promoter haplotypes of interleukin-18 condition susceptibility to severe malarial anemia and childhood mortality.
(PubMed, 2012)
Severe malarial anemia (SMA) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children
residing in regions where plasmodium falciparum transmission is holoendemic. Although
largely unexplored in children with SMA, ...
