MBL2 and Neonatal sepsis: In addition, regarding neonatal sepsis in an Egyptian population, although an Egyptian cross sectional study found a prevalence of mutant allele B with neonatal sepsis that might indicate a possible role of allele B of codon 54 in neonatal sepsis [50], another case-controlled study with a larger sample size was conducted on neonates in an Egyptian population and found no association of MBL2 SNPs with sepsis risk [23].
