Genome-Wide Association Studies of malaria susceptibility and resistance: progress, pitfalls and prospects

2018-11-01

Abstract excerpt

P. falciparum malaria is still among the leading causes of child mortality in sub-Saharan Africa; killing hundreds of thousands of children each year. Malaria has been recognized as one of the prominent evolutionary selective forces of human genome that led to the emergence of multiple host protective polymorphisms associated with minimizing the risk of developing severe malaria in endemic areas. A comprehensive u...
