Abstract excerpt
AIM: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) belong to the pattern recognition receptors family of signal molecules that recognize conserved microbial structures. The aim of this study was to analyse polymorphisms in the TLR genes and their association with chronic periodontitis (CP). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Two polymorphisms (2408G/A, i.e. Arg753Gln and -16934A/T) in TLR-2 and three variants (-1486C/T, -1237C/T and+2848A/G) in...
