Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: We assessed the association of mutant allele frequencies of nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) gene at two SNPs (-954 and -1173) with malaria disease severity in children from a malaria endemic area in Southern Ghana. METHOD: Using children recruited at the hospital, assigned into clinical subgroups of uncomplicated and severe malaria and matching with their "healthy control" counterparts, we designed a...
