| Research Abstract |
Early onset periodontitis is likely to develop in young persons with Down syndrome. Toll-like receptors(TLR), which initiate key inflammatory responses, and their signaling was investigated in gingival cells derived from persons with Down syndrome. More TLRs and TLR signal molecules are expressed in the cells from Down syndrome than from non-Down syndrome. It seems that overreaction on immune system in Down syndrome is associated with early onset periodontitis.
