Summary :Aim: Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is considered to be an important mediator of tissue
destruction in periodontitis. The cyclooxygenase (COX) catalyses the production of
PGs. COX-2, which is induced in an inflammatory response, is responsible for PGs
synthesis at sites of inflammation. A single nucleotide polymorphism of COX-2765
has been shown to alter the expression of the COX-2 gene. The purpose of the present
study was to evaluate the association of the COX-2765 polymorphism and
susceptibility to periodontitis in Taiwanese.
