Abstract excerpt
Behcet's disease (BD) is a multisystemic, recurrent inflammatory disease caused by the combinations of multiple genetic and environmental factors. Moreover, the MBL2 gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms and haplotypes are known to increase the susceptibility to inflammatory disease and to alter the serum levels of mannose-binding lectin (MBL. We postulated that the haplotypes of the MBL2 gene influence...
