(− 7402 T/G and-4729G/A) condition susceptibility to pediatric severe malarial anemia but not circulating IL-13 levels
Okumu, Wilson; Okeyo, Winnie A; Munde, Elly O; Raballah, Evans; Anyona, Samuel B; Vulule, John M; Ong’echa, John M; Perkins, Douglas J; Ouma, Collins (Bio Med Central, 2013)In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas such as western Kenya, severe malarial anemia [SMA, hemoglobin (Hb) < 6.0 g/dL, with any density parasitemia] is the most common clinical manifestation of severe ... -
Association between Fcγ receptor IIA, IIIA and IIIB genetic polymorphisms and susceptibility to severe malaria anemia in children in western Kenya
Munde, Elly O; Okeyo, Winnie A; Raballah, Evans; Anyona, Samuel B; Were, Tom; Ong’echa, John M; Perkins, Douglas J; Ouma, Collins (BioMed Central, 2017-04-20)Background Naturally-acquired immunity to Plasmodium falciparum malaria develops after several episodes of infection. Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) bind to immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies and mediate phagocytosis of ... -
Haplotype of non-synonymous mutations within IL-23R is associated with susceptibility to severe malaria anemia in a P. falciparum holoendemic transmission area...
Munde, Elly O; Raballah, Evans; Okeyo, Winnie A; Ong’echa, John M; Perkins, Douglas J; Ouma, Collins (BioMed Central, 2017-04-20)Background Improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in pediatric severe malarial anemia (SMA) pathogenesis is a crucial step in the design of novel therapeutics. Identification of host genetic ... -
HAPLOTYPES WITHIN NFKBIA PROMOTER ARE ASSOCIATED WITH SEVERE MALARIAL ANEMIA AND CIRCULATING IL-10 AND IP-10 LEVELS IN CHILDREN...
Munde, Elly O; Achieng, Angela O; Kisia, Lily E; Karim, Zachery S; Raballah, Evans O; Kempaiah, Prakasha; Ong'echa, John M; Ouma, Collins; Perkins, Douglas J (AMER SOC TROP MED & HYGIENE, 2017-11-01)HAPLOTYPES WITHIN NFKBIA PROMOTER ARE ASSOCIATED WITH SEVERE MALARIAL ANEMIA AND CIRCULATING IL-10 AND IP-10 LEVELS IN CHILDREN WITH PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM MALARIA -
HAPLOTYPES WITHIN THE NFKB1 PROMOTER ARE ASSOCIATED WITH RISK OF SEVERE MALARIAL ANEMIA
Munde, Elly O; Karim, Zachary S; Onyambu, Frank G; Raballah, Evans O; Ong'echa, John M; Ouma, Collins; Kempaiah, Prakasha; Perkins, Douglas J (AMER SOC TROP MED & HYGIENE, 2015-10-01)Haplotypes within the NFKBI1 promoter are associated with risk of severe malaria anemia -
Interleukin (IL)-13 promoter polymorphisms (-7402 T/G and-4729G/A) condition susceptibility to pediatric severe malarial anemia but not circulating IL-13 levels
Okumu, Wilson; Okeyo, Winnie A; Munde, Elly O; Raballah, Evans; Anyona, Samuel B; Vulule, John M; Ong’echa, John M; Perkins, Douglas J; Ouma, Collins (BioMed Central, 2013-12)In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas such as western Kenya, severe malarial anemia [SMA, hemoglobin (Hb) < 6.0 g/dL, with any density parasitemia] is the most common clinical manifestation of severe ... -
Polymorphisms in the Fc Gamma Receptor IIIA and Toll-Like Receptor 9 Are Associated with Protection against Severe Malarial Anemia and Changes in Circulating Gamma Interferon Levels
Munde, Elly O; Okeyo, Winnie A; Anyona, Samwel B; Raballah, Evans; Konah, Stephen; Okumu, Wilson; Ogonda, Lilian; Vulule, John; Ouma, Collins (American Society for Microbiology, 2012)An understanding of the immunogenetic basis of naturally acquired immunity to Plasmodium falciparum infection would aid in the designing of a rationally based malaria vaccine. Variants within the Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) ...
