Genetic variation in interleukin-7 is associated with a reduced erythropoietic response in Kenyan children infected with Plasmodium falciparum

Abstract

Background Severe malarial anemia (SMA) is a leading cause of malaria-related morbidity and mortality in children. The genetic factors that influence development of SMA and inefficient erythropoiesis, a central pathogenic feature of SMA, are only partially understood. Methods We performed a pilot Genome-wide Association Study (GWAS) on children with Plasmodium falciparum. The GWAS was performed using the Illumina® Infinium® HD Super Assay in conjunction with Illumina’s® Human Omni2.5-8v1 BeadChip (with > 2.45 M markers). Data were analyzed using single SNP logistic regression analysis with an additive model of inheritance controlling for covariates. Results from our pilot global genomics study identified that variation in interleukin (IL)-7 was associated with enhanced risk of SMA. To validate this finding, we investigated the relationship between genotypes and/or haplotypes of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL7 [72194 T/C and − 2440 A/G] and susceptibility to both SMA and inefficient erythropoiesis [i.e., reticulocyte production index (RPI)
