Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between polymorphism of codon54of the man-nose-binding lectin(MBL)gene and serum concentration in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).Methods The MBL gene54(GGC/GAC)polymorphism was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction and restrict fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP)in44patients with SLE and45healthy controls.Serum levels of MBL were also determined by ELISA.Results The frequencies of the wild homozygons(GGC/GGC)and het-erozygotse(GGC/GAC)of MBL codon54did not differ significantly between patients(GGC/GGC71%,GGC/GAC27%,GAC/GAC2%)and healthy controls(GGC/GGC78%,GGC/GAC22%,GAC/GAC2%).The serum MBL level of the three genotypes was(1.8?0.6)mg/L(n=31),(1.5?0.6)mg/L(n=12),1.17mg/L(n=1)respective-ly in SLE group;(3.0?1.0)mg/L(n=35),(2.2?1.0)mg/L(n=10)in control group.The(GGC/GGC and GGC/GAC)genotypes in SLE group were significantly lower than the control group.Conclusion The condon54mutation of the MBL gene may be not associated with low serum level of MBL in patients with SLE.
