Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate the association of polymorphisms in the osteoprotegerin (OPG) and interleukin 1 (IL-1) genes with chronic periodontitis (CP). MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred and ninety-four individuals (97 CP patients, 97 controls) were genotyped for the OPG polymorphisms Lys3Asn and Met256Val and for the IL-1 polymorphisms IL-1A (-889C/T) and IL-1B (+3953C/T). RESULTS: The homozygous variants coding for...
