Abstract excerpt
Few studies evaluate interrelationships between periodontitis (P) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The aim of this study is to investigate the genetic susceptibility to periodontitis alone, or concomitant with T2DM (as comorbidities), analyzing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the In...
