Abstract excerpt
AIM: Several common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene have been reported to be functional. The association between -1195GA, -765GC and 8473TC of COX-2, and severe chronic periodontitis (CP) in a Chinese population was investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 148 cases of healthy controls (control group) and 146 cases of severe CP were recruited in this study. Genotypes of...
