pubmed:abstractText
Human leukocyte antigens (HLA)/alleles have been considered as risk factors for periodontal disease. However, data from HLA associations is not consistent. Diversity of HLA antigen combinations and en bloc inherited HLA alleles (haplotypes), as known in systemic diseases, can be variable factors in disease association. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of HLA homozygosities, heterozygosities and estimated haplotypes in German Caucasian groups with generalized aggressive (N = 50) and chronic (N = 102) periodontitis in comparison to control probands without periodontitis (N = 102).
