Abstract excerpt

Case-control studies have indicated that genes for the major histocompatibility complex influence the presentation and outcome of severe Plasmodium falciparum disease. To assess the role of genetic factors in mild malaria, an analysis was conducted in 217 pairs of Gambian twins (mean age, 5.3 years) concordant for this phenotype. The twins were monitored weekly during three rainy seasons (1991-93) for fever and...
