Associations between the DBL1X-ID2a VAR2CSA-specific IgG and IgM antibody levels at enrolment or delivery and low birth weight, small for gestational age, maternal anaemia at delivery, and preterm delivery were assessed using logistic regression with confounder adjustment.<h4>Result</h4>Women with malaria infection at enrolment had higher antibody levels to DBL1X-ID2a than uninfected women, and these declined from enrolment to delivery. This evidence concerns the gene CD40LG and anemia.
