Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to determine the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL1B (-511, +3954), IL1A (-889, +4845), and the variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs) polymorphism in the IL-1RN gene with chronic periodontitis susceptibility and to analyze gene-gene interactions in a hospital-based sample population from South India. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A total of...
