We investigated the frequency of MBL2 promoter (− 550H/L and − 221X/Y) and functional region (exon 1 A/O) polymorphisms and their association with disease susceptibility, clinical features and serum MBL among GBS patients (n = 300) and healthy controls (n = 300) in Bangladesh. This evidence concerns the gene MBL2 and Guillain-Barre syndrome.
