Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The only polymorphism that could change the protein structure in vitamin D receptor (VDR) is the FokI polymorphism (rs2228570). The FF genotype has the strongest transcriptional activity of VDR and is correlated with higher susceptibility to periodontitis. To reveal the possible molecular mechanisms for the correlation preliminarily, the influence of VDR-FokI genotype on the expression of...
