Association of Duffy Blood Group Gene Polymorphisms with IL8 Gene in Chronic Periodontitis
The antigens of the Duffy blood group system (DARC) act as a receptor for the interleukin IL-8. IL-8 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic periodontitis due to its chemotactic properties on neutrophils. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible association of Duffy blood g...
