Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Our previous studies have shown that a single nucleotide polymorphism at nucleotide -1607 of the human matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) promoter is associated with the severity of periodontal disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different MMP-1 promoter genotypes on interleukin-1beta-induced MMP-1 production in human periodontal ligament cells. MATERIAL AND...
