2. PCDHGA6 upregulated in infection with Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus (Gupta et al. 2017) & Plasmodium berghei (Desruisseaux et al. 2010); PCDH10 differentially expressed in fatalities before vs. during infection (Paxton et al. 2023); other cadherins are candidate resistance genes to malaria in humans (Mackinnon et al. 2016) & other pathogens in wildlife (Cassin‐Sackett, Tsuchiya, and Dikow 2025). The gene discussed is CDH17; the disease is malaria.
