Abstract excerpt
We analyzed a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at position -56 (T-->C) in the promoter region of the gene encoding the human interferon-gamma receptor ligand-binding chain I (IFN-gammaR1). The mutation was present at similar frequencies in Gabonese children with either mild or severe malaria. Functional investigations of the promoter in a transfected human B-cell line showed lower levels of luciferase...
