The Effect of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in Toll-Like Receptors -2, -4, -9, and CD14 Genes in an African-American Population with Chronic Periodontitis
AIM: to determine if a relationship exists between TLR-2, TLR-4, TLR-9, or CD14 polymorphisms and risk for developing chronic periodontal disease in an African-American population. This is the first study conducted to determine role of SNPs in TLR genes and CD14 gene in a periodontally-diseased Afr...
