title: Vitamin A absorption and periodontal disease in trisomy G.
abstract: Vitamin A tolerance tests were carried out on fourteen Trisomy G and fourteen non-Trisomy G subjects to determine whether vitamin A absorption in trisomics is associated with their high susceptibility to periodontal disease. Neither the vitamin tolerance levels nor the findings of medical examinations on these subjects indicated a vitamin A absorption problem or correlation with periodontal health.
