Analysis of tumor necrosis factor-α−308 and lymphotoxin-α+252 gene polymorphisms in Taiwanese patients with periodontitis

Background/purpose: Polymorphisms in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and lymphotoxin (LT)-α have been associated with an increased severity of periodontitis. Our aims were to evaluate the association between TNF-α−308 and LT-α+252 gene polymorphisms and periodontitis. Materials and methods: Six hundre...
