Association of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms of the MBL2 with Atopic Dermatitis in Korean Patients.

CONCLUSION: The frequency of MBL2 HYPB haplotype was significantly decreased in the AD patients compared to the controls. The frequency of LYPB/LXPA had a possibly protective effect on AD. Moreover, the MBL2 HYPA haplotype pairs, which were related to higher blood total IgE levels, were possibly associated with extrinsic AD. PMID: 28966513 [PubMed]
