Mitochondrial gene sequence variants in children with severe malaria anaemia with or without lactic acidosis: a case control study

Abstract Background Evolutionary pressure by Plasmodium falciparum malaria is known to have favoured a large number of human gene adaptations, but there is surprisingly little investigation of the effect of malaria on human mitochondrial sequence variation. Plasmodium falciparum infection can cause...
