MBL2 gene variants and susceptibility to meningitis in Egyptian patients.

Gene - 1 Jul 2023

Sokkar Mona F, Mosaad Rehab M, Khalil Mahmoud, Kamal Lamyaa

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Meningitis is inflammation of the membranes enclosing the brain and spinal cord. It is a fatal disease with severe morbidity and mortality. Mannose binding lectin (MBL) encoded by MBL2 gene activates complement system through lectin pathway in innate immunity to defense against the infections. OBJECTIVE: The current study aimed to investigate the promoter and exon 1 variants of MBL2 gene among...
