Association between Fcγ receptor IIA, IIIA and IIIB genetic polymorphisms and susceptibility to severe malaria anemia in children in western Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2017-04-20)
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 ...
Haplotype of non-synonymous mutations within IL-23R is associated with susceptibility to severe malaria anemia in a P. falciparum holoendemic transmission area...
(BioMed Central, 2017-04-20)
Background Improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in pediatric
severe malarial anemia (SMA) pathogenesis is a crucial step in the design of novel
therapeutics. Identification of host genetic ...
Polymorphisms in Fc gamma receptor (FcγRIIIA-176 F/V) and Toll-like receptor (TLR9 [-1237 T/C]) are associated with protection against severe malarial anemia an...
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-10-08)
Understanding the immunogenetic basis of naturally acquired immunity to
Plasmodium falciparum infection would aid in designing a rationally-based malaria vaccine.
Variants within the Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) mediate ...
(− 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 ...
