Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Single nucleotide polymorphisms are assumed to be associated with the differential production of cytokines. We evaluated gene polymorphisms of interleukin-10 (-592C>A, -819C>T and -1082G>A) and interleukin-12B (+16974) in patients with chronic periodontitis (n = 145) and generalized aggressive periodontitis (n = 65) in comparison with healthy controls (n = 126).
