Genetic factors associated with development of cerebral malaria and fibrotic schistosomiasis.

The Korean journal of parasitology - 1 Dec 2002

Hirayama Kenji

Abstract excerpt

Collaborative studies have identified some genetic factors contributing to the development of severe forms of malaria and schistosomiasis. In Thailand, the TNF-alpha 5'-flanking region shows biallelic polymorphic sites at nucleotides -238, -308, -857, -863, and -1031, and seven alleles have been identified in patients from Myanmar. We found that the TNF promoter (TNFP)-D allele was significantly associated with...
