Journal ArticleDOI

P. falciparum rosetting mediated by a parasite-variant erythrocyte membrane protein and complement-receptor 1

TL;DR: A new adhesive function for Pf EMP1 is described and the possibility that CR1 polymorphisms in Africans that influence the interaction between erythrocytes and PfEMP1 may protect against severe malaria is raised.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood group O protects against severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria through the mechanism of reduced rosetting

TL;DR: In a matched case-control study of 567 Malian children, the authors found that group O was present in only 21% of severe malaria cases compared with 44-45% of uncomplicated malaria controls and healthy controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systemic lupus erythematosus in three ethnic groups: III A comparison of characteristics early in the natural history of the LUMINA cohort:

TL;DR: H and AA patients have more active SLE, at an earlier age of onset, and a lessavorable socioeconomic-demographic structure (worse among the H than AA) which predispose them to a less favorable natural history.
Journal ArticleDOI

A human complement receptor 1 polymorphism that reduces Plasmodium falciparum rosetting confers protection against severe malaria.

TL;DR: CR1 is identified as a new malaria resistance gene and provided compelling evidence that rosetting is an important parasite virulence phenotype that should be a target for drug and vaccine development.
