Abstract excerpt
TLR4 has been implicated in periodontal disease, but the association between the TLR4 Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile polymorphisms and the risk of periodontal disease remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the association between the TLR4 Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile polymorphism and periodontal disease. A search of electronic databases identified previous studies evaluating the association of...
