Abstract excerpt
AIM: Recent research has focused attention on the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) involved in the host response in periodontitis. However, so as to combine the relatively small effects of individual genes the use of multi locus genetic risk (GRS) has been proposed. This study aims to evaluate whether the genetic risk score may predict periodontitis onset and progression. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty...
