MBL2 and stroke disorder: Patients with a mild stroke at presentation (defined as a NIHSS score of ≤7 [25], [26]) showed significantly lower MBL levels than individuals with intermediate or high (8–14 and >14, respectively) NIHSS scores (median MBL level 1176 (IQR 386–2640) vs. 1893 (IQR 555–3536) ng/ml, p = 0.025, Figure 3).
