Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chronic periodontitis (CP) risk is influenced by environmental and genetic factors. Using a case-control design, we tested for associations between CP and selected DNA sequence variations (single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs]) in or near genes coding for proteins that play a role in the pathogenesis of this disease. METHODS: DNA was analyzed from 219 whites who were examined clinically. Cases...
