Negative Epistasis between Sickle and Foetal Haemoglobin Suggests a Reduction in Protection against Malaria
BACKGROUND: Haemoglobin variants, Sickle (HbS) and foetal (HbF) have been associated with malaria protection. This study explores epistatic interactions between HbS and HbF on malaria infection. METHODS: The study was conducted between March 2004 and December 2013 within the sickle cell disease (SCD...
