Associations of Interleukin-1 Polymorphisms with Chronic Periodontitis in Two Different Kenyan Ethnic Groups: A Case Control Study.

CONCLUSIONS: This study has shown that in the African population of Bantu origin, the two polymorphisms associated with chronic periodontitis are IL-1β +3954 in Taitas and IL-1α-889 in Swahilis. Additionally, haplotype 3 was associated with chronic periodontitis in both ethnic groups. PMID: 31522145 [PubMed - in process]
