We investigated the association between MBL2 gene exon 1 functional polymorphisms and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in 163 Brazilian patients (87 with Hashimoto thyroiditis, HT; 76 with Graves' disease) and 214 healthy controls. Individuals carrying MBL2 O allele are at higher risk of developing AITD (OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.11-2.26; P-value = 0.009) and HT (OR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.09-2.55; P-value = 0.013) as suggesting a possible role for mannose-binding lectin in influencing disease susceptibility.
我们研究了甘露聚糖结合凝集素 2 基因外显子 1 功能多态性与 163 例巴西患者(87 例桥本甲状腺炎,HT;76 例格雷夫斯病)和 214 例健康对照者自身免疫性甲状腺疾病(AITD)之间的关联。携带 MBL2 O 等位基因的个体发生 AITD(OR = 1.58,95%CI:1.11-2.26;P 值 = 0.009)和 HT(OR = 1.67,95%CI:1.09-2.55;P 值 = 0.013)的风险更高,这表明甘露聚糖结合凝集素可能在影响疾病易感性方面发挥作用。
