Prevalence of interleukin-1 polymorphisms and its association with periodontal disease status in the Xhosa population of South Africa.

<p>Periodontitis is a bacterially induced chronic inflammatory disease that destroys the supporting tissues of teeth. Clinical observations and experimental evidence indicates that there is a genetic influence of risk factors for periodontitis. A specific pattern of IL-1 polymorphisms (known a...
