Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polymorphisms in the immunoglobulin G Fc receptor II (FcGR) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFA) genes are known to influence pathogenesis and severity of several inflammatory conditions. Association of FcGR and TNFA gene polymorphisms with chronic periodontitis (CP) susceptibility has been found to be diverse among different ethnic populations. Objectives of the present study are to determine...
