Figure 2. Genome scan linkage analysis results by the variance component method (SOLAR) in Ndiop, PFA, the number of clinical episodes of P. falciparum.

mxPFD and mePFD, the maximum and mean P. falciparum parasite densities during clinical episodes. PtPF, the prevalence of asymptomatic P. falciparum infection. metPFD and mxtPFD, the mean and maximum P. falciparum parasite densities during asymptomatic infection. Vertical dotted lines represent chromosome boundaries, horizontal dotted lines indicate nominal p values corresponding to LOD score.
