0.370 Biomarker disease BEFREE The conjugation of antibodies against glycophorin A targeted the nanocarriers to <i>Plasmodium</i>-infected red blood cells and to gametocytes, the sole malaria parasite stage responsible for the transmission from the human to the mosquito vector. 31315185 2019

Gene Symbol: GYPA
GYPA
0.370 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE DUP4 is a complex structural genomic variant that carries extra copies of a glycophorin A-glycophorin B fusion gene and has a dramatic effect on malaria risk by reducing the risk of severe malaria by up to 40%. 30388403 2018
Entrez Id: 2993
Gene Symbol: GYPA
GYPA
0.370 Biomarker disease BEFREE Erythrocyte binding antigens 175 (EBA-175) and 140 (EBA-140) play key roles in erythrocyte invasion by binding to glycophorin A (GPA) and C (GPC) respectively in human malaria. 29128519 2018
Entrez Id: 2993
Gene Symbol: GYPA
GYPA
0.370 Biomarker disease BEFREE These results are consistent with malaria acting as a selective pressure on GYPA, but also suggest that another selective force has resulted in a similar pattern of variation in Europeans. 29362874 2018

GYPA
0.370 Biomarker disease BEFREE These findings suggest an essential role of the MSP1-GPA-band 3 complex during the initial adhesion phase of malaria parasite invasion of RBCs. 25778531 2015
Entrez Id: 2993
Gene Symbol: GYPA
GYPA
0.370 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE By contrast, we observed an allele frequency spectrum skewed toward a significant excess of intermediate-frequency alleles at GYPA exon 2 in many populations; the degree of spectrum distortion is correlated with malaria exposure, possibly because of the joint effects of gene conversion and balancing selection. 21664997 2011
