Genomewide scan results of asymptomatic parasitaemia. Multipoint LOD scores implemented by MLBGH were plotted along the 22 autosomes (a). The horizontal lines represent the threshold for a suggestive linkage (LOD score = 2.2) and a significant linkage (LOD score = 3.6). Detailed view of the regions with the highest LOD score on chromosomes 6 (b) and 17 (c). The primary genome scan results were based on 314 individuals belonging to 63 nuclear families (solid lines). The extended linkage results were based on 247 additional individuals belonging to 55 nuclear families, resulting in 561 individuals belonging to 118 families (dotted lines).
