Logistic regression analysis of IFN-γ -1616 T/C genotype and allele frequency among SM compared with UM patients

IFN-γ-1616 T/C Genotypes	OR‡(95% CI)	Pvalue
TT	5.53 (2.30- 13.27)	<0.001
TC	1.00
CC	0.65 (0.15- 2.80)	0.56
Alleles frequency
T	0.28 (0.10- 0.76)	0.008
C

^‡OR represent odds ratios while CI represents confidence intervals. Uncomplicated malaria patients (UM) were assigned 0 while severe malaria (SM) patients were assigned 1 in the logistic regression analysis. OR above 1 represented value associated to SM patients while less than 1 value represented to UM patients.
