Abstract excerpt

Cerebral malaria (CM) is a serious complication of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, and its pathogenesis leading to coma remains unknown. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) catalyzes heme breakdown, eventually generating bilirubin, iron and carbon monoxide. The HO-1 gene promoter contains a polymorphic (GT)n repeat which may influence the expression level of HO-1. To explore the correlation between this (GT)n polymorphism and...
