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 UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
