Analysis of Polymorphisms in the Lactotransferrin Gene Promoter and Dental Caries
Figure 1
Comparative sequence analysis of the promoter region amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) whose melting outcome was performed in a single run on a LightCycler 480 instrument (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). Fifteen (15) individuals, being 8 without and 7 with caries experience (mean DMFT = 6.28), were classified as “cases,” being further sequenced.
