However, only 24 and 17 studies were included for PfHRP2 and 3 gene deletion meta-analysis, respectively. The prevalence of PfHRP2 gene deletion across the individual studies ranged from the highest 100% to the lowest 0%. However, the meta-analysis result showed that the global pooled prevalence of PfHRP2 and PfHRP3 gene deletions were 21.30% and 34.50%, respectively. The pooled proportion of PfHRP2 gene deletion among false negative PfHRP2-based RDTs results was found to be 41.10%. The gene deletion status was higher in South America and followed by Africa. The pooled estimate of PfHRP2 gene deletion among studies, which did not follow the WHO PfHRP2\/3 gene deletion analysis protocol was higher than their counter parts (21.3% vs 10.5%).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This review showed that there is a high pooled prevalence of PfHRP2\/3 gene deletions in <jats:italic>Plasmodium falciparum<\/jats:italic> confirmed isolates and also a high proportion of their deletions among false-negative malaria cases using PfHRP2-based RDT results.
