Abstract
⺠The Fulani group has a more pro-inflammatory response due to the frequencies of high-producing alleles of IL1β and low-producing alleles of IL10. ⺠IL-6 could potentially also contribute to the relatively lower susceptibility to malaria in the Fulani ethnic group. ⺠The analysed TNF polymorphisms rather seem to associate with the severity of the infection and not the susceptibility for the infection itself.
