The complement system is a key mediator of tissue damage after I\/R, primarily by activation of the lectin pathway. This study investigated whether serum levels and polymorphisms of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and ficolin-2 (FCN2), two pattern recognition receptors of the lectin pathway, are associated with the predisposition to and clinical features of SSc.<\/jats:p>\n                     <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                        <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                        <jats:p>A case-control study was undertaken involving 90 patients with SSc from a single SSc outpatient clinic and 90 age- and sex-matched blood donors.

Median MBL levels were higher in SSc cases with diffuse disease compared with controls (2.6 versus 1.0\u00a0\u03bcg\/ml, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt;0.001).<\/jats:p>\n                        <jats:p>In cases, higher MBL levels were associated with the presence of clinical findings associated with vascular dysfunction and local tissue damage (digital ulcers, calcinosis and pitting). Moreover, MBL levels were associated with fibrotic disease manifestations as evidenced by the presence of diffuse disease (median 2.6 versus 0.8\u00a0\u03bcg\/ml, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002), the modified Rodnan skin score (r\u2009=\u20090.39, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt;0.001), and interstitial lung disease as measured by forced vital capacity (r\u2009=\u2009\u22120.33, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001). Importantly, MBL levels also correlated with the Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire scores (r\u2009=\u20090.33, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002). The results for FCN2 levels were less striking. Phenotypic MBL results were largely confirmed by analysis of MBL polymorphisms.
