Association of gene polymorphisms for plasminogen activators with alveolar bone loss.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The plasminogen activating system is a protease/inhibitor system central to extracellular matrix remodeling with a suggested role in periodontal disease pathology. A few studies have reported polymorphisms in the genes of plasminogen activator inhibitors to be associated with periodontal disease severity. Two gene polymorphisms - a BamHI restriction fragment length polymorphism in the...
