Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Interleukin-10 gene promoter polymorphisms have been associated with interleukin-10 decreased production, thereby playing a role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. This study aimed to investigate whether interleukin-10 single nucleotide polymorphisms at positions -1087(G/A) and -597(C/A) are associated with generalised chronic periodontitis and localised aggressive periodontitis. METHODS: Genomic...
