Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic variations in MBL2 that reduce circulating levels and alter functional properties of the mannose binding lectin (MBL) have been associated with many autoimmune and infectious diseases. We examined whether MBL2 variants influence the outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. METHODS: Participants were enrolled in the Urban Health Study of San Francisco Bay area injection drug users (IDU)...
