A screening of CD36 gene in malaria patients from Thailand identified two SNPs in the promoter region (−14T>C and −53G>T, no rs designation available) that were associated with protection against cerebral malaria and one microsatellite polymorphism in intron 3 with 12 TG repeats that has been associated with the lower risk of cerebral malaria [203]. The gene discussed is CD36; the disease is cerebral malaria.
