[ 1 ] - Evaluation of Ficolin-3 (FCN3) 1637delC (rs28357092) Frameshift Mutation in Iranian Type 2 Diabetic Subjects

Background and Aims: Ficolins are proteins that bind to carbohydrates, act as opsonins and play an important role in innate immunity. Polymorphism in ficolin-3 gene (FCN3) can lead to complement deficiency and increase the risk of some disorders such as diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of FCN3+1637delC as a single nucleotide polymorphism in this gene in healthy a...
