  1. Prevalence of alleles and genotypes in controls, uncomplicated malaria, severe anaemia and cerebral malaria groups. No significant differences in the allele or genotype distribution were found between any of the groups (p > 0.05. G(−1135)A was excluded from further analysis since the control group failed the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test.
