Table 2 shows the distribution of alleles of different HLA loci that associate with A*30:01 in patients with cerebral and uncomplicated malaria. These alleles include those that have been shown in previous studies to be associated with resistance or susceptibility to malaria, including B*53:01, Cw*0401, DRB1*08:04, DRB1*13:02 and DRB1*04 8–10, 13, 14. This evidence concerns the gene HLA-DRB1 and malaria.
