Mutation analysis of the CFTR gene in 225 children: identification of five novel severe and seven reported severe mutations.

abstract：AIMS:Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a protein synthesized by the liver and its immune response is associated with the development of liver fibrosis. We hypothesized that the polymorphisms in the Exon 1 region (52, 54, 57) and promoter regions (-550 H/L, -221 X/Y) of the MBL2 gene were associated with the severity of p...
