Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess genetic variations (SNPs) related to the vitamin D receptor in individuals with type 2 diabetes and chronic periodontitis (DM2 + CP), those with only CP, and healthy individuals, to see how these variations affect susceptibility to CP.
- - A total of 280 participants were analyzed, revealing significant differences in demographics and clinical factors among the groups, such as age and dental health indicators.
- - Results showed that certain genetic variants were more common in healthy individuals compared to those with DM2 + CP, indicating that these variants might decrease the risk of developing both conditions.
