to
January 2026
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):
The current understanding of the pathogenesis of FCGS includes evidence of a systemic component outside the oral cavity, including the presence of hyperglobulinemia and expression of pro-inflammatory serum cytokines. The goal of this study is to gain further information on the systemic manifestation of the disease to detect potential biomarker and targets for treatment.
