5 polymorphisms in the transforming growth factor‐β 1 gene (TGF‐β 1) in adult periodontitis

Abstract

These data indicate that the mentioned polymorphisms of the TGF-beta 1 gene do not influence susceptibility to adult periodontitis. There was no association between any polymorphisms in the TGF-beta 1 gene, severity of periodontitis and the smoking status in our study.
