Abstract excerpt
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a refractory mucosal disease. Its pathogenesis is thought to involve immunologic and genetic alterations. To gain a better understanding of the genetic risk factors, the authors evaluated associations between 14 functional gene polymorphisms and OLP. 32 Japanese patients with OLP and 99 unrelated healthy Japanese controls were genotyped for 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of...
