G6PD and cerebral malaria: As reported previously (Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Network, 2014), G6PD+202T was associated with an increased risk of severe malarial anaemia (odds ratio [OR] = 1.18, p = 7.5x10−5) and a decreased risk of cerebral malaria (OR = 0.91, p = 7.2x10−3) in males and females combined under an additive genetic model (Table 3 and Supplementary files 1D–F).
