The role of Mannose-binding lectin 2 (MBL2) gene polymorphisms in adenoid hypertrophy among young children

The difference between the MBL2 (SNP 49 C/T rs#5030737) gene polymorphism among adenoid hypertrophy patients and healthy people may indicate it could be used as an early predictive factor for children whom will be prone to adenoid hypertrophy. The genotype CC could be considered as a risk factor while CT genotype could be considered a protective factor against adenoid hypertrophy in the current study. A further study needed to evaluate the use of the above mentioned polymorphism as a prognostic value for adenoid hypertrophy.
