Genotyping of mannose-binding lectin (MBL2) codon 54 and promoter alleles in Egyptian infants with acute respiratory tract infections

Genotyping of mannose-binding lectin (MBL2) codon 54 and promoter alleles in Egyptian infants with acute respiratory tract infections

Background: MBL2 gene polymorphisms affect serum concentration of mannose-binding lectin and are associated with infectious conditions. Acute respiratory tract infections are among the most prevalent infections in childhood with the highest incidence among children younger than 2 years. This study a...
