Abstract excerpt
It has been reported that there is a relationship between a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promoter region of the CD14 gene at position -159 (C-->T) and infectious diseases. The aim of the present study was to test the hypthesis that expression of this SNP correlates with periodontal disease in a Japanese population. The CD14 genotype was determined in 163 subjects with periodontitis and in 104 age-...
