Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms of host defense genes might increase risk for periodontitis. This case-control study investigated whether 102 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Fc gamma receptor (FCGR) genes are associated with chronic periodontitis. Cases were 190 Hong Kong Chinese patients with severe chronic periodontitis, and there were 169 periodontitis-free individuals as controls. Genotype CC and allele C of...
