Aim: We aimed to assess mannose-binding lectin (MBL) gene polymorphisms and serum MBL concentrations in a sample of Turkish chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients as well as in cigarette smokers. Furthermore, we looked for the possible correlations of serum MBL concentrations with pulmonary function tests.
