Association of MBL2 gene polymorphisms and MBL levels with dilated cardiomyopathy in a Chinese Han population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It has been reported that Mannose-binding lectin 2 (MBL2) gene polymorphisms and expression levels are related to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). This study aimed to investigate the potential association between MBL2 gene polymorphisms and the pathogenesis of DCM.

Methods

Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the MBL2 gene were genotyped in 440 DCM patients and 532 controls in Southwest China. A luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the transcriptional activity the different genotypes. MBL serum levels, left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) and lower left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) were measured.

Results

The rs11003125 C allele increased the transcriptional activity of the MBL2 promoter compared with the rs11003125 G allele.
