Many genes have been shown to be involved in host susceptibility to the severe forms of
Plasmodium falciparum malaria but it is likely that a large number of malaria-susceptibility
genes remain to be determined. We conducted a large case-control study of children with
the severe forms of this disease—cerebral malaria and severe malarial anaemia—to attempt
to identify these genes. Over 1200 children in The Gambia were typed for polymorphisms of
the intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), complement receptor 1 (CR-1) and …
