A replication study of the association between the IL12B promoter allele CTCTAA and susceptibility to cerebral malaria in Thai population
Abstract Background Interleukin-12 (IL-12), a heterodimeric cytokine composed of p35 and p40 subunits, has been thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of malaria. The IL-12p40 subunit is encoded by the IL12B gene. An IL12B promoter allele, CTCTAA, at rs17860508 has been reported to be...
