Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a circulating immune factor responsible for opsonization of pathogens and directly activating complement. Common variations in the MBL gene are responsible for an opsonic deficiency that affects 5% to 7% of whites and are associated with increased susceptibility to infections. After a preliminary report associating these variations with coronary artery disease (CAD), we...
