Abstract excerpt

Mannose binding lectin (MBL) is a molecule of the innate immunity, which activates the complement system and modulates inflammation. We investigated the association of the polymorphisms in the exon 1 and promoter region of the MBL gene (MBL2) with the susceptibility to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and the degree of liver fibrosis in Brazilian patients chronically infected with HCV. The study was performed in...
