These genes include Saa4, Apcs, Cp, and Crp, encoding APPs described to inhibitorily interact with parasitic blood stages; the genes F2, F7, F8, F9, F10, and F13b, and Plg, Plat, and Serpina5, encoding proteins balancing coagulation vs. fibrinolysis dysregulated by malaria, respectively; the genes Hc, C8a, C8b, C8g, and C9, encoding components of lytic complement membrane attack complex (MAC); and Cfh, Cfi, and C4bp, encoding complement-regulatory proteins. This evidence concerns the gene PLAT and malaria.
