Variations in host genes encoding adhesion molecules and susceptibility to falciparum malaria in India

Abstract: Background: Host adhesion molecules play a significant role in the pathogenesis of Plasmodium falciparum malaria and changes in their structure or levels in individuals can influence the outcome of infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of SNPs of three adhesion molecule genes, ICAM1, PECAM1 and CD36, with severity of falciparum malaria in a malaria-endemic and a non-endemic region of India.

“…Since there is no information available in the context of THBS1 polymorphisms and their association with malaria, we selected SNPs from the entire gene depending upon their reported frequency in IGVC panel II [4,25] and other Asian populations. Five THBS SNPs (rs1478604, rs7170682, rs2664141, rs12912082, rs3743125) with a mean MAF >20 % in IGVC panel II and Han Chinese and Japanese populations were genotyped.…”

“…The case-control panel comprised existing patient and control samples collected from a P. falciparum hyper-to mesoendemic region (Antagarh, Chhattisgarh and Sundargarh, Orissa) and a non-endemic region (Lucknow and surrounding areas of Uttar Pradesh) of India, as described previously [4,25,27]. The control panel comprised individuals ethnically matched with the patient group; these belonged to the Bhumij, Munda, Oraon, and Gond tribal populations in the endemic region and the Aggarwal, Brahmin, Kayastha, Pasi, Thakur, Yadav, Shia, and Sunni caste and religious groups in the nonendemic region.…”

“…7,9,36 Genetic variations, notably single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) within genes encoding innate immune factors including cytokines, their receptors, as well as immunemodulatory molecules, are implicated in/resistance to malaria parasites. 10,11,32 This may explain in part why some patients naturally clear infections while others do not. In a mouse model of malaria Mohan et al, administered a combination of the pleiotropic cytokine …”
