Notes
2020 African Americans. rs3211938, previously shown to influence malaria susceptibility, is documented to result in CD36 deficiency in a homozygous subject. This SNP conferred protection against the Metabolic Syndrome (p=0.0012, OR= 0.61, 95%CI: 0.46-0.82), increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C (p=0.00018), and decreased triglycerides (p=0.0059)
