Raballah, Evans; Anyona, Samuel B; Cheng, Qiuying; Munde, Elly O; Hurwitz, Ivy-Foo; Onyango, Clinton; Ndege, Caroline; Hengartner, Nicolas W; Pacheco, Maria Andreína; Escalante, Ananias A; Lambert, Christophe G; Ouma, Collins; Obama, Henri C Jr T; Schneider, Kristan A; Seidenberg, Philip D; McMahon, Benjamin H; Perkins, Douglas J (Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2021-11-19)

Severe malarial anemia (SMA) is a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality in holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission regions. To gain enhanced understanding of predisposing factors for SMA, we explored ...

Cyclooxygenase-2 haplotypes influence the longitudinal risk of malaria and severe malarial anemia in Kenyan children from a holoendemic transmission region.

Anyona, Samuel B; Hengartner, Nicolas W; Raballah, Evans; Ong'echa, John Michael; Lauve, Nick; Cheng, Qiuying; Fenimore, Paul W; Ouma, Collins; Lambert, Christophe G; McMahon, Benjamin H; Perkins, Douglas J (Journal of Human Genetics, 2019-10-29)

Cyclooxygenase-2 [(COX-2) or prostaglandin endoperoxide H2 synthase-2 (PTGS-2)] induces the production of prostaglandins as part of the host-immune response to infections. Although a number of studies have demonstrated the ...
