Global distribution of malaria-resistant MHC-HLA alleles: the number and frequencies of alleles and malaria risk.

Malaria journal - 3 Sept 2014

Garamszegi László Zsolt

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is the most polymorphic genetic region in vertebrates, but the origin of such genetic diversity remains unresolved. Several studies have demonstrated at the within-population level that individuals harbouring particular alleles can be less or more susceptible to malaria, but these do not allow strong generalization. METHODS: Here worldwide data on the...
