The aim of this study was to assess whether polymorphisms in toll-like receptor (TLR) and cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14) genes are associated with oral lichen planus (OLP) risk and clinical course of the disease. The study group consisted of 101 patients with confirmed OLP and 104 healthy blood donors without systemic or oral mucosal diseases. Single nucleotide polymorphisms of TLR2 (rs3804099), TLR3...
