Tooth loss and adiposity: possible role of carnitine transporter (OCTN1/2) polymorphisms in women but not in men.

Objective: SLC22A4/5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported to affect inflammatory diseases. We report the relationship of these polymorphisms with adiposity and tooth loss as elucidated in a 10-year follow-up study.

Methods: Participants of the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP, N = 4105) were genotyped for the polymorphisms c.
