Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The interleukin-13 (IL-13) -1112 C/T polymorphisms have been analyzed previously in a North European population of patients with aggressive periodontitis. The present study was carried out to investigate the association of polymorphisms in the IL-13 gene with susceptibility to periodontitis in a Taiwanese population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The genotyping of IL-13 -1112 C/T polymorphisms...
