Polymorphisms in the mannose‐binding lectin gene as determinants of age‐defined risk of coronary artery lesions in Kawasaki disease
29 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between polymorphisms in the gene coding for mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and the occurrence of coronary artery lesions (CALs) among different age groups of patients with Kawasaki disease. METHODS: The frequencies of the genotypes, defined as mutations in codons 52, 54, and 57, and the functional promoter variants of the MBL2 gene were determined in 88 patients with acute...
