Human leukocyte antigen-G polymorphisms in periodontitis.

Conclusion: No differences were found amongst patients and controls when considering the +3142 C > G SNP haplotypes frequencies, but a significant increased frequency of homozygotes for the 14 bp deletion allele was observed in chronic periodontitis patients compared to healthy controls, suggesting a susceptibility role of this polymorphism in the pathogenesis of this condition.
