Abstract excerpt

Periodontitis and coronary artery disease (CAD) are inflammatory diseases and associated with each other. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region carries genes involved in immune response and inflammation. We investigated whether the MHC genes correlate with the presence of periodontitis or with the occurrence of periodontal pathogens in patients with CAD. Blood and saliva samples from CAD patients (n =...
