Figure 1 Serum levels of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) in kidney transplant patients according to MBL2 genotypes (P<0.00001). The genotypes YA/YA, YA/XA, XA/XA, and YA/YO corresponding to medium/high levels of functional MBLs are grouped and the genotypes XA/YO and YO/YO corresponding to low levels of functional MBLs are grouped.

Figure 3 Five-year death-censored kidney graft survival according to MBL2 genotypes. (a) The high-expression MBL2 group was defined as the YA/YA, YA/XA, XA/XA, and YA/YO haplotypes, whereas the low-expression group was defined as the XA/YO and YO/YO haplotypes. All patients transplanted with either a deceased or a living donor (P=0.1684). (b) Non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-immunized patients transplanted with either a deceased or a living donor (P=0.0321). (c) HLA-immunized patients transplanted with either a deceased or a living donor kidney (P=0.2429). (d) All patients transplanted with a deceased donor kidney (P=0.0199). (e) All patients transplanted with a living donor kidney (P=0.2549). (f) Non-HLA-immunized patients transplanted with a deceased donor kidney (P=0.0024).
