Association of bone morphogenetic protein-4 gene polymorphism with periodontitis in a Taiwanese population

Background/purpose: Bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) plays an important role during embryonic development of tooth and bone. Studies have found that the BMP-4 polymorphism rs17563 (T>C) influenced bone loss around implants; however, its impact on periodontitis has never been determined. Assoc...
