Abstract excerpt
The cg2 gene of Plasmodium falciparum has been proposed to be associated with chloroquine resistance. Here we describe PCR amplification and sequencing of all the four repeat regions (kappa (kappa), gamma (gamma), psi (psi) and omega (omega)) of this gene, from Indian isolates. There were variant forms for each of these repeat regions (two for kappa and gamma, and three for psi and omega) among the 123 Indian...
