OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; def, CD36 deficiency alleles 1264G and 1439C pooled; wt, CD36 wild-type allele; the remaining alleles and genotypes refer to CD36 T1264G. CM, cerebral malaria; SA, severe anaemia; Severe, all severe cases; Uncomplicated, non-severe malaria.

aMantel–Haenszel stratified analysis.

bSample numbers in brackets refer to subsets of the studies’ cases or controls.
