Acute respiratory tract infections and mannose-binding lectin insufficiency during early childhood.
CONTEXT Hospital-based studies have found that increased susceptibility to certain infections is associated with low serum levels of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) due to MBL variant alleles. However, the contribution of MBL insufficiency to incidence of common childhood infections at a population level is unknown. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of MBL insufficiency on risk for acute respi...
متن کاملRole of mannose-binding lectin (MBL2) genotyping in predicting the risk of recurrent otitis media (rOM).
Otitis media (OM) is the most common childhood disease. Almost all children experience at least one episode of otitis media with effusion (OME) or acute otitis (OMA) during childhood, and a substantial subgroup is confronted with recurrent episodes. If not treated adequately, OM may lead to temporary or permanent hearing loss. It is well known that bacteria and viruses cause OMA, and may play a...
متن کاملMannose-binding lectin deficiency and respiratory tract infection.
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is an innate immune system pattern recognition protein that kills a wide range of pathogenic microbes through complement activation. A substantial proportion of all human populations studied to date have MBL deficiency due to MBL2 polymorphisms, which potentially increases susceptibility to infectious disease. MBL binds numerous respiratory pathogens but the capsule...
متن کاملMannose-Binding Lectin Codon 54 Gene Polymorphism and Vulvovaginal Candidiasis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays a key role in the human innate immune response. It has been shown that polymorphisms in the MBL2 gene, particularly at codon 54 (variant allele B; wild-type allele designated as A), impact upon host susceptibility to Candida infection. This systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to assess the association between MBL2 codon 54 genotype and vulvovagi...
متن کاملMannose-binding lectin gene codon 54 polymorphism susceptible to brucellosis in Turkish children.
Genetic factors are as important as environmental factors in susceptibility to brucellosis. Among these genetic factors, mannose-binding lectin (MBL) deficiency contributes to susceptibility to animal brucellosis. The aim of the study is to determine the influence of codon 54 polymorphisms in the MBL gene on susceptibility to brucellosis. Forty-three patients diagnosed with brucellosis and 106 ...
