Abstract excerpt
AIM: R-spondin 4 (RSPO4) is a suggestive risk gene of stage III-IV, grade C periodontitis and upregulated in gingiva of mice resistant to bacteria-induced alveolar bone loss. We aimed to replicate the association, identify and characterize the putative causal variant(s) and molecular effects, and understand the downstream effects of RSPO4 upregulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a two-step association...
