Human genetic resistance to malaria.

Abstract:

This brief chapter highlights the need for caution when designing and interpreting studies aimed at seeking new genes that may be associated with malaria protection, or investigating the potential mechanisms for protection in promising candidates. Judging genetic effects on the basis of the wrong clinical phenotype and missing true protective genes because their protective effects are masked by unpredictable epistatic effects are major potential pitfalls. These issues are by no means unique t...
