Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between the interleukin-1 composite gene polymorphism and the severity of periodontal disease in the Xhosa population of South Africa. BACKGROUND: Periodontitis is a bacterially-induced chronic inflammatory disease that destroys the tooth supporting tissues. A specific pattern of interleukin-1 polymorphisms (known as the composite IL-1...
