Comparison between wild type (AA) and mutant types (AB and BB) MBL serum levels among RVVC cases and controls.

Study group	MBL serum level (µg/mL)			Test of; significance	P value
	AA	AB	BB
RVVC cases
Mean ± SD	1.31 ± 0.88	0.69 ± 0.33	0.29 ± 0.28	Kruskal-Wallis	0.011	0.019; 0.033; 0.265
Median (range)	1.02 (0.09–3.53)	0.67 (0.13–1.05)	0.4 (0.09–0.49)
Controls
Mean ± SD	1.35 ± 0.86	1.08 ± 0.96	-	Mann–Whitney	0.23
Median (range)	1.15 (0.14–3.70)	0.51 (0.35–2.98)

Significant difference; value between AA and AB genotypes MBL concentrations; value between AA and BB genotypes MBL concentrations; value between AB and BB genotypes MBL concentrations.
