The CT/CC genotype for the rs20541 SNP in IL13 locus (OR=1.38, 95%CI 1.11-1.76, p=0.003) and the TLR9 rs187084 SNP (additive T, OR=1.23, 95%CI 1.05-1.44, p=0.010) were associated with susceptibility to malaria (Table 3) following univariate analysis. The gene discussed is IL13; the disease is malaria.
