Phylogenetic nomenclature and evolution of mannose-binding lectin (<it>MBL2</it>) haplotypes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Polymorphisms of the mannose-binding lectin gene (<it>MBL2</it>) affect the concentration and functional efficiency of the protein. We recently used haplotype-specific sequencing to identify 23 <it>MBL2 </it>h...
