21 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Interleukin-10 has been described as an anti-inflammatory cytokine and a B-cell proliferation factor. Promoter polymorphisms of the interleukin-10 gene have been associated with altered interleukin-10 expression. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate three polymorphisms at positions -1082G>A, -819C>T and -590C>A in patients with generalized chronic periodontitis (n = 27) and...
