Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to determine the developmental profile of mannose-binding protein (MBP) in preterm infants. MBP was measured in 885 longitudinally collected serum samples from 168 preterm infants, and 63 were genotyped with respect to the codon 54 mutation in the MBP gene. MBP level/codon 54 genotyping were also determined on the cord blood of 146/123 term infants and 138/123 adults, respectively. The...
