Genome-wide Association Study Identifies Novel Risk Loci for Apical Periodontitis.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Apical periodontitis (AP) is a common consequence of root canal infection leading to periapical bone resorption. Microbial and host genetic factors and their interactions have been shown to play a role in AP development and progression. Variations in a few genes have been reported in association with AP; however, the lack of genome-wide studies has hindered progress in understanding the molecular...
