Genetic variation in CSF2 (5q31.1) is associated with longitudinal susceptibility to pediatric malaria, severe malarial anemia, and all-cause mortality in a high-burden malaria and HIV region of Kenya
Kisia, Lily E.; Cheng, Qiuying; Raballah, Evans; Munde, Elly O.; McMahon, Benjamin H.; Hengartner, Nick W.; Ong’echa, John M.; Chelimo, Kiprotich; Lambert, Christophe G.; Ouma, Collins; Kempaiah, Prakasha; Perkins, Douglas J.; Schneider, Kristan A.; Anyona, Samuel B. (Tropical Medicine and Health, 2022-06-25)Plasmodium falciparum infections remain among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in holoendemic transmission areas. Located within region 5q31.1, the colony-stimulating factor 2 gene (CSF2) encodes granulocyte ... -
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 ...
