Abstract
Complement activation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a debilitating immune-mediated neuropathy. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a complement activation factor of lectin pathway which as genetic host factor may influence the susceptibility or severity of GBS. We investigated the frequency of MBL2 promoter (- 550H/L and - 221X/Y) and functional region (exon 1 A/O) polymorphisms and their association with disease susceptibility, clinical features and serum MBL among GBS patients (n = 300) and healthy controls (n = 300) in Bangladesh. The median patient age was 30 years (IQR: 18-42; males, 68%). MBL2 polymorphisms were not significantly associated with GBS susceptibility compared to healthy controls. HL heterozygosity in GBS patients was significantly associated with mild functional disability at enrolment (P = 0.0145, OR, 95% CI 2.1, 1.17-3.82). The HY, YA, HA and HYA heterozygous haplotypes were more common among mildly affected (P = 0.0067, P = 0.0086, P = 0.0075, P = 0.0032, respectively) than severely affected patients with GBS. Reduced serum MBL was significantly associated with the LL, OO and no HYA variants and GBS disease severity. No significant association was observed between MBL2 polymorphisms and electrophysiological variants, recent Campylobacter jejuni infection or anti-ganglioside (GM1) antibody responses in GBS. In conclusion, MBL2 gene polymorphisms are related to reduced serum MBL and associated with the severity of GBS.

Influence of the presence of mannose-binding lectin polymorphisms on the occurrence of leishmaniasis: a systematic review and meta-analysis. An Bras Dermatol 2022; 97:298-306. [PMID: 35331599 PMCID: PMC9133304 DOI: 10.1016/j.abd.2021.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 07/31/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Leishmaniasis is caused by an intracellular protozoan of the Leishmania genus. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a serum complement protein and recognizes lipoprotein antigens in protozoa and the bacterial plasma membrane. Nucleotide variants in the promoter region and exon 1 of the MBL gene can influence its expression or change its molecular structure. Objective To evaluate, through a systematic review, case-control studies of the genetic association of variants in the MBL2 gene and the risk of developing leishmaniasis. Methods This review carried out a search in PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, Scopus and Lilacs databases for case-control publications with six polymorphisms in the mannose-binding Lectin gene. The following strategy was used: P = Patients at risk of leishmaniasis; I = Presence of polymorphisms; C = Absence of polymorphisms; O = Occurrence of leishmaniasis. Four case/control studies consisting of 791 patients with leishmaniasis and 967 healthy subjects (Control) are included in this meta-analysis. The association of variants in the mannose-binding Lectin gene and leishmaniasis under the allelic genetic model, -550 (Hvs. L), -221 (X vs. Y), +4 (Q vs. P), CD52 (A vs. D), CD54 (A vs. B), CD57 (A vs. C) and A/O genotype (A vs. O) was evaluated. International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO): CRD42020201755. Results The meta-analysis results for any allelic genetic model showed no significant association for the variants within the promoter, the untranslated region, and exon 1, as well as for the wild-type A allele and mutant allele O with leishmaniasis. Study limitations Caution should be exercised when interpreting these results, as they are based on a few studies, which show divergent results when analyzed separately. Conclusions This meta-analysis showed a non-significant association between the rs11003125, rs7096206, rs7095891, rs5030737, rs1800450, and rs1800451 polymorphisms of the Mannose-binding Lectin gene and leishmaniasis in any allelic and heterogeneous evaluation.

Abstract
Purpose Polymorphisms in MBL2 may contribute to the susceptibility to tuberculosis. The aim of the present study was to determine the associations of the polymorphisms of five loci (rs1800450, rs1800451, rs7096206, rs7095891, and rs11003125) in the MBL2 gene with susceptibility to tuberculosis and specific lineages of Mycobacterium tuberculosis causing tuberculosis in the Uyghur population of Xinjiang, China. Methods From January 2019 to January 2020, we enrolled 170 Uyghur tuberculosis patients as the case group and 147 Uyghur staff with no clinical symptoms as the control group from four designated tuberculosis hospitals in southern Xinjiang, China. The polymorphisms of five loci in MBL2 of human were detected by sequencing. Whole-genome sequencing was applied in 68 M. tuberculosis isolates from the case group and the data were used to perform genealogy analysis. Results The distributions of allele and genotype frequencies of five loci in MBL2 varied little between the case and control groups and varied little among the groups, including those infected with different lineages of M. tuberculosis and the control (except those of rs11003125), the P values were all >0.05. The distribution of alleles of rs11003125 was statistically different between patients infected with lineages 3 and 4 M. tuberculosis (χ2=7.037, P=0.008). The C allele and CC genotype of rs11003125 were found to be protective factors against lineage 4 infection when compared to lineage 3 (ORs were 0.190 and 0.158, respectively; 95% confidence intervals were 0.053~0.690 and 0.025~0.999, respectively). Conclusion Our results suggested that human’s susceptibility to tuberculosis is affected both by the host genetic polymorphisms and the lineage of the M. tuberculosis that people were exposed to. However, due to the limitation of the sample size in the present study, larger sample size and more rigorous design should be guaranteed in future studies.

Abstract
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) deficiency caused by the variability in the MBL2 gene is responsible for the susceptibility to and severity of various infectious and autoimmune diseases. A combination of six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has a major impact on MBL levels in circulation. The aim of this study is to design and validate a sensitive and economical method for determining MBL2 haplogenotypes. The SNaPshot assay is designed and optimized to genotype six SNPs (rs1800451, rs1800450, rs5030737, rs7095891, rs7096206, rs11003125) and is validated by comparing results with Sanger sequencing. Additionally, an algorithm for online calculation of haplogenotype combinations from the determined genotypes is developed. Three hundred and twenty-eight DNA samples from healthy individuals from the Czech population are genotyped. Minor allele frequencies (MAFs) in the Czech population are in accordance with those present in the European population. The SNaPshot assay for MBL2 genotyping is a high-throughput, cost-effective technique that can be used in further genetic-association studies or in clinical practice. Moreover, a freely available online application for the calculation of haplogenotypes from SNPs is developed within the scope of this project.

Abstract
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is an acute phase protein which recognizes the pathogens through its carbohydrate recognition domain. It is an important part of human innate immunity. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the impact of MBL2 polymorphism on pulmonary tuberculosis in a number of patients from the southeast of Iran. In this case-control study, 2 MBL gene polymorphisms (rs1800450, rs7095891) were genotyped using PCR-RFLP method and polymerase chain reaction for detection of 34bp ins/del of MBL2 gene (rs777980157) polymorphism. The study included 170 patients with PTB (pulmonary tuberculosis) and 175 control subjects. The findings indicated that the GA (GA vs. GG: OR=0.172, 95% CI=0.107-0.275, P<0.001) (OR - odds ratio; CI - confidence interval) genotype as well as GA+AA (GA+AA vs. GG: OR=0.191, 95% CI=0.120-0.302, P<0.001) genotype of rs1800450 reduced the risk of PTB compared to GG genotype. The rs7095891 variant significantly decreased the risk of PTB in codominant (GA vs. GG: OR=0.118, 95% CI=0.054-0.258, P<0.001; and AA vs. GG: OR=0.029, 95% CI=0.01-0.082, P<0.001), dominant (GA+AA vs. GG: OR=0.095, 95% CI=0.044-0.207, P<0.001) and recessive (AA vs. GA+GG: OR=0.172, CI=0.081-0.365, P<0.001) inheritance models. No significant relationship was identified between the rs777980157 variant and PTB risk/protection. In conclusion, we found that the MBL2 rs1800450 and rs7095891 polymorphisms provide relative protection against PTB. Additional studies on larger populations with different ethnicities are required to verify our findings.

Abstract
Background Mannose-binding lectin (MBL2) is considered to play a role in the human innate immune response to tuberculosis (TB) infections, and 4 common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may be associated with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) risk. To examine these potential associations, we performed a comprehensive analysis to assess the relationships between MBL2 polymorphisms and PTB. Methods The PubMed, Embase, and SinoMed databases were searched for articles published prior to June 13, 2019. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to evaluate the strength of the relationships. Results There were 37 case-control studies examining the effects of the four SNPs in MBL2 on PTB. A positive association between rs11003125 and PTB risk was observed in the hospital-based subgroup. Moreover, for the combined polymorphism and PTB risk, positive associations were detected not only in the total population but also in those with Asian origins across all source of control subgroups. No associations were found for rs7096206 or rs7095891. Conclusions Our current study indicated that several SNPs in MBL2 may be associated with susceptibility to PTB.

Abstract
The global spread of tuberculosis remains one of actual problems of public health despite of introduction of public health safety programs. Early, rapid and accurate identification of M. tuberculosis and determination of drug susceptibility are essential for treatment and management of this disease. Delay in delivering results prolongs potentially inappropriate antituberculosis therapy, contributing to emergence of drug resistance, reducing treatment options and increasing treatment duration and associated costs, resulting in increased mortality and morbidity. Faster, more comprehensive diagnostics will enable earlier use of the most appropriate drug regimen, thus improving patient outcomes and reducing overall healthcare costs. The treatment of infection based on the using of massive antimicrobial therapy with analysis of bacterial strains resistance to first line drugs (FLD) isoniazid (INH), rifampin (RIF), pyrazinamide (PZA), ethambutol (EMB) and streptomycin (SM). However, the public health practitioners pay no attention to functional activity of human immune system genes. The interaction of bacterial genomes and immune system genes plays the major role in infection progress. There is growing evidence that, together with human and environmental factors, Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strain diversity contributes to the variable outcome of infection and disease in human TB. We suppose that the future of diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis lies in the field of personal medicine with comprehensive analysis of host and pathogen genes.

Abstract
In recent years, many studies have demonstrated that the MBL-2 gene polymorphisms may be associated with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) susceptibility. Moreover, some studies have shown that serum MBL levels were influenced by the MBL-2 gene polymorphisms and that it plays an important role in tuberculosis infection. However, the results of these studies were inconsistent and underpowered. The current meta-analysis and systematic review aimed to evaluate the association between the MBL-2 gene polymorphisms and serum MBL levels with PTB. Finally, 30 eligible articles were included in the study. The overall results indicated that the MBL-2 rs1800450 (54 A/B) and rs5030737 (52 A/D) polymorphisms were risk factors for PTB, but the MBL-2 rs1800451 (57 A/C) and rs7095891 (+4 P/Q) polymorphisms as protective factors against PTB. No associations were found in the other three polymorphisms (exon 1, rs7096206 (-221 X/Y), and rs11003125 (-550 H/L) of the MBL-2 gene. In addition, we could not detect any significant differences between haplotypes among PTB patients and healthy controls. More important, the meta-analysis results indicated that the serum MBL levels in patients with PTB were significantly lower than those in healthy controls (SMD = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.33-0.52). This study suggested that the MBL-2 gene polymorphisms may be involved in the pathogenesis of PTB, and serum MBL may be a biomarker for the diagnosis of PTB. More rigorous research is needed in the future to confirm these findings further.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tuberculosis (TB) is a foremost infectious disease in most parts of the world. Globally, tuberculosis is the second-leading cause of infectious diseases. This has become a significant world-wide social and public health issue, and one of the major diseases in China. In addition to environmental risk factors, genetic factors may play an important role in the development of tuberculosis. METHODS We conducted a case-control study to evaluate the genetic effects of functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): MBL2 rs1800450 C > T, MBL2 rs7095891 G > A and MBL2 rs7096206 C > G, and their influences on the development of tuberculosis. A total of 231 tuberculosis cases and 240 controls were included in this study. Genotypes were determined using a custom-designed 48-Plex SNPscanTM kit. RESULTS The MBL2 rs7095891 G > A polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of TB. However, there were no significant links with the other two SNPs. In any subgroup, there was no relvant risk of TB associated with MBL2 rs7095891 G > A polymorphism. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that functional polymorphism MBL2 rs7095891 G > A may be positively correlated with susceptibility to tuberculosis. These findings may be somewhat limited by sample size. A further study with more focus on different regions, ethnic groups and larger sample sizes is therefore suggested.

Abstract
Background Evidence suggests that genetic variations of exon 1 of mannose-binding lectin 2 (MBL2) may contribute to tuberculosis (TB) risk. Many studies have investigated the association between MBL2 exon 1 polymorphisms (rs1800450, rs1800451, and rs5030737) and TB risk, but yielded inconclusive results. Method We conducted this meta-analysis of 26 eligible case–control studies that included 7952 cases and 9328 controls to identify the strength of association. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI were used to evaluate the strength of association. Statistical analyses were performed by using STATA 12.1. Results We found a statistically significant correlation between MBL2 exon 1 polymorphisms and increased TB risk among three models: allele model (O vs A: OR =1.18, 95% CI: 1.01–1.38, Pheterogeneity<0.0001, I2=85.8%), homozygote comparison (OO vs AA: OR =1.49, 95%CI: 1.02–2.18, Pheterogeneity<0.0001, I2=79.1%), dominant model (AO/OO vs AA: OR =1.20, 95% CI: 1.01–1.43, Pheterogeneity<0.0001, I2=83.5%), especially in studies based on Asian populations among five models: allele model (O vs A: OR =1.29, 95% CI: 1.11–1.51, Pheterogeneity<0.0001, I2=66.0%), homozygote comparison (OO vs AA: OR =1.67, 95% CI: 1.09–2.55, Pheterogeneity=0.008, I2=54.2%), heterozygote comparison (AO vs AA: OR =1.26, 95% CI: 1.05–1.50, Pheterogeneity=0.001, I2=62.9%), dominant model (AO/OO vs. AA: OR =1.31, 95% CI: 1.10–1.56, Pheterogeneity=0.001, I2=64.2%), and recessive model (OO vs AO/AA: OR =1.50, 95% CI: 1.01–2.22, Pheterogeneity=0.023, I2=48.0%). Meta-regression results revealed that source of controls (p=0.009), but not ethnicity (p=0.687), genotyping method (p=0.231), and sample size (p=0.451) contributed to the source of heterogeneity. Conclusion This meta-analysis suggests that MBL2 exon 1 polymorphisms may contribute to TB risk, especially in Asian populations.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is still remains the major threat for human health worldwide. Several case-control, candidate-gene, family studies and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) suggested the association of host genetic factors to TB susceptibility or resistance in various ethnic populations. Moreover, these factors modulate the host immune responses to tuberculosis. Studies have reported genetic markers to predict TB development in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and non-HLA genes like killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR), toll-like receptors (TLRs), cytokine/chemokines and their receptors, vitamin D receptor (VDR) and SLC11A1 etc. Highly polymorphic HLA loci may influence antigen presentation specificities by modifying peptide binding motifs. The recent meta-analysis studies revealed the association of several HLA alleles in particular class II HLA-DRB1 with TB susceptibility and valuable marker for disease development especially in Asian populations. Case-control studies have found the association of HLA-DR2 in some populations, but not in other populations, this could be due to an ethnic specific association of gene variants. Recently, GWAS conducted in case-control and family based studies in Russia, Chinese Han, Morocco, Uganda and Tanzania revealed the association of genes such as ASAP1, Alkylglycerol monooxygenase (AGMO), Forkhead BoxP1 (FOXP1), C-terminal domain phosphatase 1 (UBLCP1) and intergenic SNP rs932347C/T with TB. Whereas, SNP rs10956514A/G were not associated with TB in western Chinese Han and Tibetan population. In this review, we summarize the recent findings of genetic variants with susceptibility/resistance to TB.
