Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies have identified several nonfunctional tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with severe malaria. We hypothesized that causal SNPs could play a significant role in severe malaria by altering promoter or enhancer activity. Here, we sought to identify such regulatory SNPs. METHODS: SNPs in linkage disequilibrium with tagSNPs associated with severe malaria...
