<scp>MMP</scp>‐8 ‐799 <scp>C</scp>&gt;<scp>T</scp> genetic polymorphism is associated with the susceptibility to chronic and aggressive periodontitis in Taiwanese

Abstract

These results suggested that non-smoking Taiwanese with the MMP-8 -799 T allele were associated with the risks of both CP and AgP. Further studies in other ethnic populations are necessary.
