In some patients with severe anaemia transcripts mainly encoded DC8 PfEMP1 (e.g. patients 1965, 2120, 1920, 2142 and 2268), but in other severe anaemia patients, transcripts for EPCR‐binding group A PfEMP1 dominated (e.g. patients 1939 and 2132). This evidence concerns the gene NSL1 and anemia (phenotype).
