Figure 6. Long (GT)n repeats and “L carrier” genotype associate with less severe disease.

Figure 6

A) Frequency distribution of the number of [GT]n repeats in SM (open bars, n = 282 alleles) and UM cases (black bars, n = 302 alleles). B) Frequency of the “S” (short<27), “M” (medium 27 to 32) and L (long>32) [GT]n repeats for SM (open bars) and UM (black bars) cases. C) Frequency of “S” (open bars), “M” (dotted bars) and “L” (black bars) [GT]n repeats according to disease entities. Distribution of HMOX1 promoter genotypes amongst D) SM (open bars) and UM (black bars) cases, and E) amongst different disease entities. Those labeled in green are “L carriers”, those labeled in red are “non-L carriers”. SM = severe malaria, SRD = severe respiratory distress, CM = cerebral malaria, SA = severe anaemia, SP = severe prostration, UM = uncomplicated malaria.
