Epistasis between the haptoglobin common variant and α+thalassemia influences risk of severe malaria in Kenyan children
Haptoglobin (Hp) scavenges free hemoglobin following malaria-induced hemolysis. Few studies have investigated the relationship between the common Hp variants and the risk of severe malaria, and their results are inconclusive. We conducted a case-control study of 996 children with severe Plasmodium f...
