Abstract
This is the first study evaluating the FCN2 gene polymorphisms in patients with RF and rheumatic carditis finding a protective effect of â986 GG and â4 GG genotypes in the development of RF and the â4 AG genotype for the development of carditis. Our data do not support a possible role for MBL2 polymorphisms in the pathogenesis and in the clinical manifestations of RF.
