Supporting these assumptions is the fact that our survey of random loci included three (ZNF804A, CDH13, SIRT3) of 18 novel malaria resistance genes recently uncovered by GWAS (Timmann et al. 2012; Band et al. 2013; MalariaGEN 2014; MalariaGEN et al. 2015) (ATP2B4, MYOT, C10ord57, C11orf40, STIM1, MARVELD3 [Timmann et al. 2012], the linked genes ODF3-BET1-RIC8A-SIRT3 and the linked genes SMARCA5-FREM3-GYPE-GYPB-GYPA, in addition to the three above). The gene discussed is CIMAP1A; the disease is malaria.
