Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to determine whether tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) promoter polymorphisms confer susceptibility to periodontitis in ethnically different populations. A literature search was performed using PubMed and Embase and a meta-analysis of the identified studies was conducted to explore the associations between TNF-α -308 A/G, -238 A/G, IL-6 promoter -174 G/C and -572...
