Mannose-binding lectin 2 (MBL2) gene polymorphisms do not influence frequency of infections in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients

Background: Infectious complications represent the main cause of morbidity and mortality in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It has been reported that polymorphisms of the mannosebinding lectin 2 (MBL2) genes are correlated with MBL protein serum levels and, consequently, are associated with the devel...
