Abstract excerpt
Emerging evidence suggests that certain genetic polymorphisms are associated with various sub-groups of early-onset periodontal diseases (EOP). We determined the genotype with respect to a (CA)n dinucleotide repeat polymorphism in the promoter region of the interleukin-10 gene (IL-10.G) in 72 patients with EOP and in 73 healthy individuals in order to test for possible disease associations. Some differences...
