Abstract excerpt
Human Fc gamma receptor (Fc gamma R) genes form a clustered gene family, which consists of Fc gamma RIIA, IIB, IIC, IIIA, and IIIB genes, on chromosome 1q23. We previously reported that the Fc gamma RIIA-131H/H genotype in combination with the Fc gamma RIIIB-NA2 allele is associated with susceptibility to cerebral malaria, and that such an association can be caused by linkage disequilibrium (LD) between these...
