Table 1. Some genes, mutations, and haplotypes associated with resistance to amodiaquine and solphadoxine/pyrimethamine treatment.

Gene Abbreviation Codon Mutation Short form of mutation Resistance haplotype Phenotype
Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase dhfr 51 Ieucine to Isoleucine L51I IRN Decreased susceptibility to pyrimethamine
59 Cysteine to arginine C59R
108 Serine to asparagine S108N
Plasmodium falciparum dihydropteroate sythase dhps 437 Alanine to glycine A437G Decreased susceptibility to sulphadoxine
540 Lysine to glutamic acid
dhfr+dhps All above All above IRNG* Sulphadoxine–pyrimethamine resistance conferring
Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter pfcrt 76 Lysine to threonine K76T
Plasmodium falciparum multidrug resistance transporter Pfmdr 1 86 Asparagine to tyrosine N86Y
184 Tyrosine to glutamic acid Y184E
1246 Aspartic acid to tyrosine D1246Y
Pfcrt+pfmdr1 76+1246 K76T+N86Y TY* Amodiaquine resistance conferring

Note: *Haplotypes considered in the present analysis.

The TY resistance conferring haplotype was considered for association with amodiaquine resistance, while IRNG resistance conferring haplotype was considered for association with sulphadoxine–pyrimethamine resistance.
