Fig. 7From: A study on genetic polymorphism in Matrix Metalloproteinases-3 in oral submucous fibrosis patients and in healthy individualsThe majority of individuals suffering from OSF belonged to the Group IV,III respectively. Thus the above graph shows 56.7% of the individuals in the study belonged to the moderate and severe stages of OSF Association of Duration of the habit with stages of OSF were statistically significant p = 0.01 and p = 0.04 with 5A/5A, 5A/6A,6A/6A genotypes. Thus the association of duration of the habit and stage of OSF was significant with the genotypesBack to article page
