Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate polymorphisms of both codon 54 allele and promoter variants of the mannose binding lectin (MBL) gene in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS). METHODS: Polymorphisms of codon 54 allele and promoter variants of the MBL gene in 104 patients with SS and 143 healthy controls were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and allele specific...
