Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate genetic variations of innate immune system such as mannose binding lectin (MBL), Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4), CD14, LY96 (MD2) and Uroplakin 1B (UPK1B) genes in children with recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI). METHODS: The study included 30 children with recurrent UTI and 30 healthy controls. Blood was drawn and analysed for genetic polymorphisms of MBL, TLR4 and CD14 genes by the...
