Molecular assay reagents intended to identify gene variants associated with susceptibility to periodontal disease (i.e., gum disease), a chronic infection of the tissues surrounding the teeth. Genetic variants at multiple loci have been associated with susceptibility to periodontal disease. These reagents are intended to detect various types of genetic changes (e.g., deletions, duplications, insertions, single nucleotide polymorphisms) in multiple periodontal disease susceptibility loci simultaneously.
