Evolutionary analysis of genes of two pathways involved in placental malaria infection.

Human genetics - 1 May 2008

Sikora Martin, Ferrer-Admetlla Anna, Mayor Alfredo, Bertranpetit Jaume, Casals Ferran

Abstract excerpt

Placental malaria is a special form of malaria that causes up to 200,000 maternal and infant deaths every year. Previous studies show that two receptor molecules, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulphate A, are mediating the adhesion of parasite-infected erythrocytes in the placenta of patients,...
