Abstract excerpt
We investigated the association between severe malaria and genetic variation of IL10 in Gambian children, as several lines of evidence indicate that IL10 is protective against severe malaria and that IL10 production is genetically determined. We began by identifying five informative SNPs in the Gambian population that were genotyped in a combined case-control and intrafamilial study including 654 cases of severe...
