METHOD OF DIAGNOSING GUM DISEASE-WOUND HEALING USING SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM PROFILES

摘要

The present invention provides methods for diagnosing and providing a prognosis for wound healing in a patient by characterizing and analyzing the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of a wound healing associated gene wit3.0. In particular, the invention provides a method of diagnosis and prognosis of oral disease-wound healing, including gingival periodontitis and residual alveolar bone resorption, by characterizing and analyzing the wound inducible transcript-3.0 (wit3.0)SNP pattern in a sample of a patient with and without susceptibility for the disease.
