Susceptibility/resistance of both aggressive and chronic periodontitis may rather be influenced by particular HLA marker combinations. Associated HLA haplotypes may be of further importance for unknown gene loci representing a part of the genetic background for periodontitis. The different associations in aggressive and chronic periodontitis indicate different susceptibility/resistance factors for both diseases.].
