Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory responses may be altered in postmenopausal women and predispose to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Genetic factors can also influence susceptibility to CVD. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a component of the innate immune system and an activator of the complement cascade. We evaluated the association of genetic polymorphism of MBL (MBL2) on risk factors for CVD in postmenopausal women....
