Case-only design identifies interactions of genetic risk variants at SIGLEC5 and PLG with the lncRNA CTD-2353F22.1 implying the importance of periodontal wound healing for disease aetiology.

Abstract excerpt

AIM: The basis of phenotypic variation of periodontitis is genetic variability. Disease relevant effects of individual risk alleles are considered to result from genetic interactions. We investigated gene × gene (G×G) interactions of suggestive periodontitis susceptibility alleles. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used the case-only design and investigated single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) that showed associations...
