2018-12-31
Abstract excerpt
The gene encoding the Duffy blood group protein (Fy, CD234; additional designations Duffy Antigen Receptor of Chemokines [DARC] and Atypical Chemokine Receptor 1 [ACKR1]) is characterized by a SNP in a GATA-1 transcription factor binding site associated with the erythrocyte silent (ES) phenotype. FY ES homozygous people are viewed to be highly resistant to blood stage infection with Plasmodium vivax . Increasing...
