MCCC1 and cerebral malaria: Analysis of this small case-control study suggested a protective association between the Sl2/Sl2 genotype and cerebral malaria (aOR 0.35, 95% CI 0.12–0.89, p=0.024) and the Sl2/Sl2-McCa/McCa genotype combination was associated with protection against cerebral malaria (aOR 0.14, 95% CI 0.02–0.84, p=0.031, Appendix 1).
