Using the same methodology for cerebral malaria, we identified 32 genes that could distinguish cerebral from non-cerebral malaria including: TRIP12, PUM2, MYH11, SETX, ANK2, RABEP1, ELF2, MORC2, CD53, ZNF197, MAP3K13, KRIT1, PGR, EPHA4, USP34, THRB, ATP5G3, OGT, DGKQ, XRCC5, LARP4, SCN2B, CDH8, SPATS2L, KPNA6, VPS13B, PPP6R3, MREG, TTC17, CHRNA10, ASB7, and C18orf8 (Figure 1). This evidence concerns the gene USP34 and cerebral malaria.
