Monozygotic twins are discordant for chronic periodontitis: white blood cell counts and cytokine production after ex vivo stimulation.

Journal of clinical periodontology - 1 Feb 2010

Torres de Heens Gaudy L, Loos Bruno G, van der Velden Ubele

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the extent of concordance in the number of leucocytes and their cytokine secretion after ex vivo stimulation in a twin population discordant for the amount of periodontal breakdown. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Venous blood was collected from 18 adult twin pairs (10 monozygotic and eight dizygotic twins). Each twin pair consisted of a diseased twin (proband) and...
