In children with severe malaria, EPCR‐binding PfEMP1 was transcribed by both group B (DC8, carrying CIDRα1.[1/8] domains) and group A (carrying CIDRα1.[4–7] domains) EPCR‐binding PfEMP1 (median transcript proportions 15.5 and 16.7%, for groups B and A, respectively). The gene discussed is PROCR; the disease is malaria.
