Functional Haplotypes of Fc Gamma (Fcy) Receptor (FcyRIIA and FcyRIIB) Predict Risk to Repeated Episodes of Severe Malarial Anaemia and Mortality in Kenyan...
(SN Konah, 2012)
Development of protective immunity against Plasmodium falciparum is partially mediated
through binding of malaria-specific IgG to Fc gamma (γ) receptors. Variations in human
FcγRIIA-H/R-131 and FcγRIIIB-NA1/NA2 affect ...
Polymorphic Variability in the Interleukin (IL)-1Beta Promoter Conditions Susceptibility to Severe Malarial Anemia and Functional Changes in IL-1Beta Production
(PubMed, 2012)
Interleukin (IL)-1beta is a cytokine released as part of the innate immune response to
Plasmodium falciparum. Because the role played by IL-1beta polymorphic variability in
conditioning the immunopathogenesis of severe ...
Haplotypes of IL12B promoter polymorphisms condition susceptibility to severe malaria and functional changes in cytokine levels in Thai adults
(Immunogenetics, 2012)
Polymorphic variability in immune response genes, such as IL12B, encoding the IL-12p40
subunit is associated with susceptibility to severe malaria in African populations. Since the
role of genetic variation in conditioning ...
MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor) promoter polymorphisms and susceptibility to severe malarial anemia
(Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2012)
Severe malarial anemia (SMA) resulting from Plasmodium falciparum
infection is one of the leading causes of childhood mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. The
innate immune mediator macrophage migration inhibitory factor ...
