Heterozygosity of mannose-binding lectin (MBL2) genotypes predicts advantage (heterosis) in relation to fatal outcome in intensive care patients
12 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in the MBL2 gene, which affect the structure and influence on the serum concentration of mannose-binding lectin (MBL), are associated with inflammatory and infectious conditions. The importance of MBL2 polymorphisms on outcome in critical ill patients is unclear. Five hundred and thirty-two consecutive critically ill patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) were included over a period of 18...
