DARC 298A carriage is associated with increased odds of malaria and vivax malaria. OR, odds ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; unadjusted, crude odds ratio; adjusted, odds ratio adjusted for age, sex, and migration status; *P < 0.05 as compared to DARC G298 wildtype individuals. Forest plots display the odds of malaria according to DARC G298A genotypes. χ2 test or Fisher’s exact test was applied to calculate unadjusted odds ratios (95% CIs). Adjusted odds ratios were derived from logistic regression models adjusting for age, sex and migration status. As compared to control individuals (14.5%, 132/909), DARC 298A carriage was more common in malaria patients [16.7%, 152/909; aOR, 1.46 (1.07–1.99)] and in vivax malaria patients in particular [17.7%, 112/633; aOR, 1.60 (1.14–2.22)]
