Association of Polymorphisms in the Tumor Necrosis Factor-α and Interleukin-10 Genes With Oral Lichen Planus: A Study in a Chinese Cohort With Han Ethnicity
18 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
Cytokines have an important role in the pathogenesis and disease progression on oral lichen planus (OLP). The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of gene polymorphisms of T-helper cell subtype Th1/Th2 cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) on OLP in a Chinese cohort with Han ethnicity. Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the IL-10 gene (IL-10) at...
