Journal of Internal Medicine, 10/15/07
Maury, C.P.J., et al. - The aim of this study was to investigate whether polymorphism of the mannose-binding lectin 2 (MBL2) gene is related to the occurrence of systemic AA amyloidosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)...Conclusion: We conclude that variant MBL2 structural genotype constitutes a significant risk factor for reactive amyloidosis in RA and that the increased risk is probably related to MBL-mediated impairment of mononuclear phagocyte function
