Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms of human Fc gamma-receptor IIA (FcgammaRIIA) and mannose-binding lectin (MBL) genes have been associated with susceptibility to or severity of some infectious diseases. In order to investigate whether these genetic factors might influence susceptibility to infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-Cov) as well as the course and severity of the infection, we...
