Genetic variation in interleukin-7 is associated with a reduced erythropoietic response in Kenyan children infected with Plasmodium falciparum
Kisia, Lily E.; Kempaiah, Prakasha; Anyona, Samuel B.; Munde, Elly O.; Achieng, Angela O.; Ong’echa, John M.; Lambert, Christophe G.; Chelimo, Kiprotich; Ouma, Collins; Perkins, Douglas J; Raballah, Evans (BMC Med Genet., 2019-08-16)Background Severe malarial anemia (SMA) is a leading cause of malaria-related morbidity and mortality in children. The genetic factors that influence development of SMA and inefficient erythropoiesis, a central pathogenic ... -
