Association of CD14?260 polymorphisms, red?complex periodontopathogens and gingival crevicular fluid cytokine levels with cyclosporine A?induced gingival overgrowth in renal transplant patients

ConclusionNo association between CD14?260 polymorphisms and the prevalence of GO was revealed in renal transplant patients administered CsA. However, CD14?260 CT + TT genotypes are associated with the prevalence of red complex periodontopathogens in patients with GO, and may thus play some role in the development of severe CsA?induced GO.
