PYCARD and periodontitis: The data in Table 2 shows that individuals with the TT genotype of the PYCARD C/T (rs8056505) polymorphism are significantly more likely to have periodontitis, CHD and CHD with periodontitis compared to those with the CC genotype (OR = 13.47; 95% CI, 0.04-0.470), (OR = 8.91; 95% CI, 0.029-0.31) and (OR = 20.12; 95% CI, 0.06497-0.720) respectively.
