Abstract excerpt
The human FCN2 gene codes for ficolin-2 (L-ficolin), a major pattern recognition molecule and activator of the lectin pathway of complement. Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms of this gene were investigated in a large series of cord blood DNA samples. Mutations from the majority to the minority alleles at -602, -4 and +6359 were associated with an increase, while mutations at -986, -557, -64 and +6424 were...
