Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To assess associations between the functional polymorphisms G-2518A at the chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 gene (CCL2) and mannose binding lectin (MBL) codon 54 variant (A/B) and susceptibility to SARS. METHODS: We genotyped the CCL2 G-2518A and MBL codon 54 variant (A/B) in 4 case-con...
