(Aii to Dii) Phenotypes. (Aii) Mean level of <i>P.falciparum</i> density. (Bii) Intensity of <i>P.falciparum</i> infection. (Cii) Prevalence of <i>P.falciparum</i> infection. (Dii) Mild Malaria Attack.</p

Results of quantitative multipoint linkage analysis obtained from the regress-based method implemented in MERLIN program for chromosomes 13–22 and pseudo-autosomal region of chromosome X.

<p>Genetic position (cM) is plotted along the x axis. The dotted line indicates the LOD score associated with the threshold p-value of 10⁻³ and the dashed-dotted line the LOD score associated the threshold p-value of 10⁻⁴.</p

Univariate assessments of the influence of variables of interest on Hpr levels in Gabonese children.

<p>Coefficients are from univariate general linear models investigating the association between variables of interest and log(Haptoglobin-related protein) values.</p

Haptoglobin related protein levels are correlated with haptoglobin levels in A) Gabonese and B) Caucasian children.

<p>Scatterplot of raw Hpr values (mg/ml) plotted against raw Hp values (mg/ml). Associations were assessed by Spearmans rho. Hpr was positively correlated with Hp in A) Gabonese children (r_s = 0.29, <i>P</i><0.001), and B) Caucasian children (r_s = 0.51, <i>P</i><0.001).</p

Hpr levels in Gabonese and Caucasian children.

<p>Values represent median [interquartile range]. P-values represent comparisons between Caucasians and Gabonese children.</p
