Open Access Abstract Many studies have reported that polymorphisms of the mannose-binding lectin MBL gene are associated with autoimmune disease. Here we investigate the relationship between MBL gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to juvenile idiopathic arthritis JIA in a Han-nationality population from the Hubei province of China. PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to investigate polymorphisms of codons 54 and 57 in exon 1 of the MBL gene in 93 patients with JIA and 48 control children. Neither group showed codon 57 polymorphisms. There was no significant difference in the genotypic frequencies of codon 54 between patients with JIA and healthy controls wild type versus respectively heterozygous type versus respectively and homozygous type .
