Abstract excerpt
The Plasmodium falciparum multidrug resistance-1 (pfmdr1) gene, which encodes the ABC P-glycoprotein homolog PgH1, accumulates mutations that result in amino acid changes, namely single-nucleotide polymorphisms at codons N86Y, Y184F, and D1246Y, associated with altered parasite susceptibility to multiple antimalarial drugs. Among these antimalarials are compounds used in artemisinin-based combination (ACT)...
