Relationship between <i>IL‐1A</i> polymorphisms and gingival overgrowth in renal transplant recipients receiving Cyclosporin A

Abstract

This study is the first to associate a gene polymorphism as a risk factor for CsA-induced gingival overgrowth in renal transplant patients, demonstrating that IL-1A polymorphism might alter individual susceptibility to CsA. However, there was no association between GCF cytokine levels and the presence of gingival overgrowth or patient IL-1A genotype.
