Association between primary vulvar vestibulitis syndrome, defective induction of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and carriage of the mannose-binding lectin codon 54 gene polymorphism.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated whether women with vulvar vestibulitis syndrome (VVS) could be subdivided on the basis of genotyping the polymorphic mannose-binding lectin (MBL) gene. STUDY DESIGN: DNA from 123 women with VVS was tested for a single nucleotide polymorphism at codon 54 of the MBL gene. Bl...
