Abstract
- IL-1β in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) is a marker of inflammation in periodontal disease. Here, Offenbacher et al. identify genetic variants in the IL37 locus associated with GCF-IL-1β and show that the IL-1β-increasing allele at rs3811046 leads to an enhanced inflammatory response in vitro and in vivo.
