Periodontal Diseases, Epigenetics
DNA Methylation Profile of the SOCS-1 Gene Promoter in Smokers Patients With Chronic Periodontitis.
Periodontitis is related to host genetics, constitution of the dental biofilm and environmental factors such as smoking. DNA methylation is a mechanism of genetic expression that can inhibit or silence gene expression.
