Haptoglobin and sickle cell polymorphisms and risk of active trachoma in Gambian children. by Mathilde Savy, Branwen J Hennig, Conor P Doherty, Anthony J Fulford, Robin Bailey, Martin J Holland, Giorgio Sirugo, Kirk A Rockett, Dominic P Kwiatkowski, Andrew M Prentice, Sharon E Cox

“…In vitro studies of the causative organism, Chlamydia trachomatis, demonstrate that iron availability regulates its growth, suggesting that host genes involved in regulating iron status and/or availability may modulate the risk of trachoma. The objective was to investigate whether haptoglobin (Hp) haplotypes constructed from the functional polymorphism (Hp1/Hp2) plus the functional promoter SNPs -61A-C (rs5471) and -101C-G (rs5470), or sickle cell trait (HbAS, rs334) were associated with risk of active trachoma when stratified by age and sex, in rural Gambian children.…”
