Abstract excerpt

The high frequencies of mutant haemoglobin and erythrocyte surface proteins in malaria-endemic regions have indicated that polymorphisms in human genes have been under selection pressure by severe malarial disease. Glycophorin C (GYPC) is a major surface erythrocyte protein and also a receptor for the Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte-binding antigen 140 (EBA-140, also known as BAEBL). There is no binding to GYPC...
