[Correlation of gene polymorphism and risk of aggressive periodontal disease]
Abstract:
The study included 179 patients aged 18-45 years (56 with aggressive periodontal disease and 123 with no clinical signs of periodontitis). Gene polymorphism was analyzed by means of real-time PCR and kissing probes in order to reveal marker panel for aggressive periodontal disease predisposition. Significant difference was found for gene MMP9 in rs17576 position for A allele (55.2% in aggressive periodontal disease patients and 69.5% in control group) and in rs3918242 position for C allele (67.7 and 81.7%, respectively).

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin create...
