OBJECTIVES: This study investigated gene polymorphisms in the interleukin-4 (IL-4) and its receptor alpha (IL-4Rα) gene regions in human hosts with uncomplicated malaria.
DATA DESCRIPTION: Blood samples were obtained from a case-control study conducted at the Sogakope district hospital in the Volta region of Ghana. Thick blood films were made and used to detect the presence and levels of parasitaemia in the patient samples. Genotyping of IL-4 (150 C/T) and the IL-4Rα (Pro-478-Ser) polymorphisms in the promoter regions and receptor gene was performed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) after DNA extraction. The data are useful in determining genetic polymorphisms (allele and genotypic frequencies) of IL-4 and its alpha receptor. In addition, they are useful when comparing levels of parasite density and haematological parameters between genotypic variants of IL-4 and IL-4Rα. These data contribute to our understanding of the genetic basis of malaria susceptibility, particularly in the population of the Volta region of Ghana.
