Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Fc gamma receptors IIIA (Fc gamma RIIIA) mediates phagocytosis by macrophages, and cytokine production by NK cells and lymphocytes. The Fc gamma R IIIA-158V/F polymorphism may play a role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. This study was to detect Fc gamma R IIIA-158V/F genotypes in Chinese patients with different forms of periodontitis. METHODS: Thirty aggressive periodontitis (AgP) patients (aged...
