Does a large candidate-gene association study suggest genetic variants at IRF5 and PRDM1 to be associated with aggressive periodontitis?
The study gives no definite evidence for a pathogenic genetic link of periodontitis and RA but suggests IRF5 and PRDM1 as shared susceptibility factors.
Sudomotor dysfunction is associated with increased risk of FU and should be included in the screening tests for identification of diabetic patients at risk of ulceration.
