Gene Polymorphisms in Gingivitis [PDF]
, 2011 1) We aimed to conduct a review of the literature for gene polymorphisms associated with susceptibility to gingivitis. We searched the studies in English language using the key words gingivitis and gene (mutation or polymorphism) and analyzed their results. (a) Firstly, in introduction, etiopathogenesis and clinical picture of gingivitis were discussed,

PTPN22 gene polymorphism in Takayasu's arteritis [PDF]
Rheumatology, 2008 Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a chronic, rare granulomatous panarteritis of unknown aetiology involving mainly the aorta and its major branches. In this study, genetic susceptibility to TA has been investigated by screening the functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of PTPN22 gene encoding the lymphoid-specific protein tyrosine phosphatase ...
