Because of dual role of MBL in determination of CVD risk, subgroups of subjects with absolute functional deficiency (MBL < 100 ng/mL), intermediate deficiency (MBL 100–500 ng/mL), normal MBL (500–1000 ng/mL), and high MBL level (>1000 ng/mL) within both DM2 and control group were analyzed separately. Here, MBL2 is linked to hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, familial, 4.
