Abstract: | Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) binds to pathogens and induces complement-mediated opsonophagocytosis. Although the association between MBL2 polymorphisms and tuberculosis (TB) has been studied in various populations, the results are controversial. We explored the stages of TB associated with MBL2 polymorphisms. X/Y (rs7096206) and A/B (rs1800450) were genotyped in 765 new patients with active pulmonary TB without HIV infection and 556 controls in Hanoi, Viet Nam. The MBL2 nucleotide sequences were further analyzed, and plasma MBL levels were measured in 109 apparently healthy healthcare workers and 65 patients with TB. Latent TB infection (LTBI) was detected by interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA). The YA/YA diplotype, which exhibited high plasma MBL levels, was associated with protection against active TB in younger patients (mean age = 32) ≦ 45 years old (odds ratio, 0.61; 95% confidence interval, 0.46–0.80). The resistant diplotype was less frequently found in the younger patients at diagnosis (P = 0.0021). MBL2 diplotype frequencies and plasma MBL levels were not significantly different between the IGRA-positive and -negative groups. MBL2 YA/YA exhibited a protective role against the development of TB in younger patients, whereas the MBL2 genotype and MBL levels were not associated with LTBI. High MBL levels may protect against the early development of pulmonary TB after infection. |
