ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To assess polymorphism in Kelch 13 gene of Plasmodium falciparum isolates in Lagos, Nigeria.

METHODS:

195 Plasmodium falciparum-positive dried blood spots collected from individuals that accessed diagnostic care at some health facilities and during community surveys across several Local Government Areas of Lagos State, Nigeria, were investigated for the presence of mutations in the K13 gene by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using haplotype-specific probes and sequencing.

RESULTS:

Three mutant genotypes of K13 gene were observed A578S in 0.5%, D464N in 0.5% and Q613H in 1.5%. The frequency of K13 polymorphism was 3.1%, while the remaining parasite population had the wild K13 propeller genes.

CONCLUSION:

No validated Kelch 13 polymorphism associated with artemisinin resistance was seen among P. falciparum isolates from Lagos, Nigeria. As no clinical study was done, this could not be correlated with artemisinin sensitivity.
OBJECTIF Evaluer le polymorphisme du gène Kelch 13 dans les isolats de Plasmodium falciparum à Lagos, au Nigéria. MÉTHODES 195 gouttes de sang séchées positives pour Plasmodium falciparum recueillies auprès d'individus ayant accédé à des soins de diagnostic dans certains centres de santé et lors d'enquêtes communautaires menées dans plusieurs zones du gouvernement local de l'Etat de Lagos, au Nigéria, ont été examinées pour rechercher la présence de mutations du gène K13 par la réaction en chaîne imbriquée de la polymérase (PCR) en utilisant des sondes spécifiques à l'haplotype et par le séquençage. RÉSULTATS Trois génotypes mutants du gène K13 ont été observés A578S dans 0,5%, D464N dans 0,5% et Q613H dans 1,5%. La fréquence du polymorphisme K13 était de 3,1%, alors que la population parasitaire restante avait les gènes sauvages de l'hélice K13.

CONCLUSION:

Aucun polymorphisme validé de Kelch 13 associé à une résistance à l'artémisinine n'a été observé parmi les isolats de P. falciparum de Lagos, au Nigéria. Aucune étude clinique n'ayant été réalisée, il n'a pas été possible d'établir une corrélation entre cette observation et la sensibilité à l'artémisinine.
