Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) activates the complement system via the lectin pathway after recognition of repetitive sugar groups on pathogens. We investigated whether the MBL2 genotype, serum MBL level, and MBL complex activity are associated with the development and severity of GBS. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter region (\u2212550 H\/L and \u2212221 X\/Y) and exon 1 (A\/O) of the MBL2 gene were determined in 271 GBS patients and 212 healthy controls. The frequencies of the H allele, HY promoter haplotype, and HYA haplotype, which are related to high MBL activity, were all increased in GBS patients compared with healthy controls (p \u2264 0.03), particularly in severely affected GBS patients (MRC-sum score &amp;lt;40) (p \u2264 0.02). Severe weakness was also associated with high MBL concentrations and MBL complex activity in sera from GBS patients (p &amp;lt; 0.01). The MBL2 B allele was associated with functional deficiency and relatively mild weakness. These results support the hypothesis that complement activation mediated by MBL contributes to the extent of nerve damage in GBS, which is codetermined by the MBL2 haplotype.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.177.6.4211","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,18]],"date-time":"2014-04-18T19:17:50Z","timestamp":1397848670000},"page":"4211-4217","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Mannose-Binding Lectin Contributes to the Severity of Guillain-Barre\u0301 Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"177","author":[{"given":"Karin","family":"Geleijns","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Erasmus Medical Center , Rotterdam ,","place":["The Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Immunology, Erasmus Medical Center , Rotterdam ,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anja","family":"Roos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Nephrology and Clinical Chemistry, Leiden University Medical Centre , Leiden ,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeanine J","family":"Houwing-Duistermaat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Medical Statistics and Bioinformatics, Leiden University Medical Centre , Leiden ,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wouter","family":"van Rijs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Erasmus Medical Center , Rotterdam ,","place":["The Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Immunology, Erasmus Medical Center , Rotterdam ,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anne P","family":"Tio-Gillen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Erasmus Medical Center , Rotterdam ,","place":["The Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Immunology, Erasmus Medical Center , Rotterdam ,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jon D","family":"Laman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology, Erasmus Medical Center , Rotterdam ,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pieter A","family":"van Doorn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Erasmus Medical Center , Rotterdam ,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bart C","family":"Jacobs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Erasmus Medical Center , Rotterdam ,","place":["The Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Immunology, Erasmus Medical Center , Rotterdam ,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026020213060990200_R1","first-page":"61","volume-title":"Trends Immunol.","year":"2004"},{"key":"2026020213060990200_R2","first-page":"1492","volume-title":"J.
