ICAM-1 Kilifi variant is not associated with cerebral and severe malaria pathogenesis in Beninese children
Abstract Background Cytoadhesion and sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells (iRBC) in the microvasculature of vital organs are a major cause of malaria pathology. Several studies have provided evidence on the implication of the human host intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (I...
