Interleukin-10 haplotype frequencies in children with gingivitis.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Polymorphisms in the promoter region of the interleukin (IL)-10 gene have been identified at positions -1082 (G-->A), -819 (C-->T), and -592 (C-->A). Linkage disequilibrium between alleles -819*C, and -592*C was observed. A previous study addressed the association between the -1082*A allele and gingivitis in white Caucasian children. The aim of this case-control study was to test whether differences...
