Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the link between a specific genetic variation (IL1B c. 3954C > T) and the prevalence of periodontitis, an inflammatory gum disease, among 347 participants in Vitória da Conquista, Brazil.
- - Researchers analyzed DNA and saliva samples from 134 individuals with periodontitis and 213 controls, using various statistical methods to determine any associations.
- - Results showed no significant relationship between the genetic polymorphism and periodontitis, indicating that this specific gene variant does not contribute to the disease's risk in the evaluated population.
