Infection-susceptibility alleles of mannose-binding lectin are associated with increased carotid plaque area.

Journal of investigative medicine : the official publication of the American Federation for Clinical Research - 1 May 2000

Hegele R A, Ban M R, Anderson C M, Spence J D

Abstract excerpt

The MBL gene, encoding mannose-binding lectin, determines interindividual variation in susceptibility to certain infectious agents, such as Chlamydia pneumoniae. We examined whether infection-susceptibility alleles of MBL, called "non-A alleles," would be associated with increased carotid plaque area (CPA), an intermediate phenotype of atherosclerosis. In 164 subjects, we measured CPA with 2-dimensional...
