Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder of sickle hemoglobin affecting millions of people wordwide. The current study aimed at detecting the prevalence of MBL2 exon-1 (codon 52, 54 and 57) and promoter region (-221, X/Y) genetic polymorphisms in Egyptian children with SCD to clear out its possible role as a genetic risk factor for susceptibility to venous occlusion (VOC) and/or infections
