Abstract excerpt
Low plasma concentration of mannan binding protein (MBP) has been shown to be the basis for a common opsonic deficiency and suggested to be caused by a single nucleotide substitution at base 230 of exon 1 in the MBP gene. This substitution causes a replacement of glycine (codon GGC) with aspartic acid (codon GAC). Of 123 healthy Danish individuals investigated by polymerase chain reaction performed on exon 1,...
