CD36 and malaria: While malaria-naïve adults exhibited the highest transcript levels, the range of the values for ‘controller’ samples (median 0.0, range: 0–63.5) was wider than in both other groups (malaria-naïve: median 2.9, range: 0–30.1; ‘non-controller’: median 0.5, range: 0–44.1) due to a predominant expression of single individual CD36-binding variants in some of these samples.
