Abstract excerpt
AIM: Epidemiological and clinical studies indicated a relationship of periodontitis with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We aimed to identify shared genetic susceptibility loci of RA and periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-seven risk genes of genome-wide significance of RA and SLE were genotyped in a German case-control sample of aggressive periodontitis (AgP), using Immunochip genotyping arrays (Illumina, 600...
