Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several studies have investigated the association between interleukin (IL)-4 gene -590 C/T, -33 C/T, or 70-base pair (70-bp) polymorphisms and periodontitis susceptibility but with conflicting results. Hence, a meta-analysis was conducted to explore whether these polymorphisms are associated with periodontitis susceptibility. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was conducted of PubMed, Embase,...
