Associations of apolipoprotein<scp>E</scp>and low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 5 polymorphisms with dyslipidemia and generalized aggressive periodontitis in a<scp>C</scp>hinese population

Abstract

Independently or combined with APOE, LRP5 polymorphisms may lead to dyslipidemia and are associated with generalized aggressive periodontitis. Dyslipidemia may be a risk indicator for generalized aggressive periodontitis in the Chinese population. Furthermore, two LRP5 polymorphisms (rs682429 and rs312016) might be useful for identifying subjects at higher risk of generalized aggressive periodontitis.
