Yes! People with #genotypeAA are more prone to malaria.
Reason:
The commonest parasite that causes #malaria (Plasmodium falciparum) loves plenty of #blood & #oxygen.
Since AA is the perfect #genotype with plenty of blood & oxygen, the parasite prefers AA blood.

There's a substance in blood called #hemoglobin. It carries oxygen to your tissues.
People with #genotypeAA have the perfect hemoglobin & hence plenty of oxygen in it. That's why malaria parasite prefers infecting them instead of people with AS & SS.
(The parasite wise abi!)
