Association between Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 -2518 (A/G) Single Nucleotide Polymorphism and Chronic Periodontitis in End-stage Renal Disease Patients - A Case-control Study.

Abstract excerpt

Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) plays an important role in the development of periodontitis. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate association of the  MCP-1 gene polymorphism with chronic periodontitis in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
