We performed MBL2 genotyping in 47 CF patients—cared of at the regional CF Centre of
Trieste—trying to establish a correlation within allelic variants of MBL2 and modification of
patients' clinical outcome. FEV1 values were significantly lowered and a significantly earlier
age at onset of Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonisation was found in CF patients with at least
one MBL2 variant.
