Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic polymorphisms that influence neutrophil function were proposed as possible risk factors for aggressive periodontitis (AgP). The aim of this study is to test whether a clinical diagnosis and specific genetic variants are associated with neutrophil activity in subjects with AgP and healthy subjects. METHODS: This study describes the results of neutrophil analyses performed in 40 subjects (20...
