BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 gene polymorphisms have been implicated in inflammatory episodes in a number of studies. In view of the inflammatory nature of acute pancreatitis, we aimed to determine the predictive value of two point mutations in the promoter region at position -550 (H/L variants) and -221 (X/Y variants) of the MBL2 gene, and the Asp299Gly...
