Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is highly expressed in oral lichen planus (OLP). The IFN-γ (+874 in intron 1, rs2430561) TT genotype, which has been reported to be associated with high IFN-γ production, was hypothesized to be associated with susceptibility to OLP in the Thai population. DESIGN: Genomic DNA samples from 74 OLP and 268 healthy controls were evaluated for IFN-γ polymorphisms by polymerase chain...
