Abstract excerpt
The RANTES (regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted) and MBL (mannose binding lectin) single-nucleotide polymorphisms have been repeatedly associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but the findings are not consistent across studies. The aim of this study was to determine whether the functional RANTES-28, -403 and MBL2 A/O polymorphisms confer susceptibility to SLE in multiple ethnic...
