Mannose-binding lectin plasma levels and gene polymorphisms in Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
The contribution of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) to protection from malaria was assessed by comparing plasma concentrations of MBL and the frequency of MBL gene polymorphisms in groups of Gabonese children participating in a prospective study of severe and mild malaria due to infection with Plasmodium falciparum. At admission, a higher proportion of patients with severe malaria had a low level ...
متن کاملCharacterization of mannose-binding lectin plasma levels and genetic polymorphisms in HIV-1-infected individuals.
INTRODUCTION The present study investigated the association between mannose-binding lectin (MBL) gene polymorphism and serum levels with infection by HIV-1. METHODS Blood samples (5 mL) were collected from 97 HIV-1-infected individuals resident in Belém, State of Pará, Brazil, who attended the Special Outpatient Unit for Infections and Parasitic Diseases (URE-DIPE). CD4+ T-lymphocyte count an...

متن کاملMannose-binding lectin gene polymorphisms in relation to periodontitis.
AIM To investigate the correlation of six functional polymorphisms in the MBL gene with MBL plasma levels in relation to periodontitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 92 periodontitis patients and 70 controls, all of Caucasian origin, were included. Patients and controls were genotyped for the L/H, X/Y, P/Q, A/D, A/B and A/C polymorphisms. Distributions of genotypes, rate of allele carriage ...
متن کاملAngiotensin-converting enzyme and angiotensinogen gene polymorphisms, plasma levels, cardiac dimensions. A twin study.
We tested the hypotheses that angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion (I/D) and angiotensinogen 235 methionine/threonine (M/T) substitution gene polymorphisms influence angiotensin-converting enzyme and angiotensiongen serum concentrations and cardiac dimensions in 91 monozygotic and 41 dizygotic twin pairs. Cardiac dimensions were determined echocardiographically. Angiotensin-converti...
