Lactoferrin gene polymorphisms in Italian patients with recurrent tonsillitis.

International journal of pediatric otorhinolaryngology - 1 Sept 2016

Zupin Luisa, Angelelli Francesco, Grasso Domenico Leonardo, Crovella Sergio

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Recurrent tonsillitis is an oral pathology characterized by inflammation of tonsils. The disease susceptibility depends upon environmental and host factors, specifically the innate immune response, the first line of host defence could play an important role. Among innate immunity members, lactoferrin, known for its antimicrobial properties, was previously correlated with the risk of oral pathology...
