Lack of association of mannose-binding lectin gene polymorphisms with development and clinical manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus in Chinese children.

Abstract excerpt

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) gene polymorphisms may be associated with adult-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but studies in children with SLE are rare. This study tested the genetic association between MBL polymorphisms and paediatric-onset SLE in a cohort of Chinese children in Taiwan. In all 150 children with SLE and 100 healthy controls of comparable age were genotyped for codon 52, 54 and 57...
