Allele frequencies in two SNPs (rs20541 and rs7935564) in two genes, ie, IL13 and TRIM5 were found to be significantly different (p = 0.038) between those with past history of malaria (one or more clinical malaria attacks during last 10 years, i.e. malaria-susceptible individuals) and people without past history, i.e. apparently protected from malaria (Chi-Squared test p = 0.036). Here, IL13 is linked to malaria.
