Ficolin‐1 gene (<i>FCN1</i>) −144 C/A polymorphism is associated with adverse outcome of severe pneumonia in the under‐five Egyptian children: A multicenter study

Abstract

The FCN1 A/A genotype at the -144 position was associated with high M-ficolin serum levels and possibly contributes to enhanced inflammatory response resulting in the adverse outcome of pneumonia in the under-five Egyptian children.
