Abstract excerpt
To explore the hypothesis that angiotensin II may play a role in the susceptibility to cerebral malaria (CM), we performed a genetic association study of malaria patients in Orissa, India analyzing three SNPs (ACE2 C-->T, iNOS C-->T, eNOS Glu-->Asp) and two I/D polymorphisms (ACE I/D and IL-4 B1/...
