The tlr-4 (D299G and T399I), tlr-9 (T-1486C and T-1237C) and tirap (S180L) genes were assessed in 640 Baluchi individuals (320 Plasmodium falciparum-infected and 320 non-infected, median age of 28 years) from malaria-endemic regions using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methods. The gene discussed is TLR9; the disease is malaria.
