HLA-DPB1 and malaria: The hypothesis of positive selection driving the evolution of DPB1 in a malaria‐endemic environment is supported by the AMOVA analysis (Figure S3) revealing, as mentioned above, that DPB1 is the only locus showing a significant genetic structure among population groups based on exposure to P. falciparum (ΦCT = 0.046, p < 0.05).
