Gene variants for the WNT pathway are associated with severity in periodontal disease.

Objective: Studies of Wnt variants-related to bone resorption in periodontitis are limited. The aim of this study was to establish the genotype and allele frequency of gene variants associated with the Wnt pathway in systemically healthy individuals with and without periodontitis (PD).

Materials And Methods: One hundred fifty-seven systemically healthy individuals were evaluated, 90 with PD and 67 without PD.
