IntroductionTo a large extent, a person's susceptibility to developing periodontitis is determined by their genetic makeup. Research has shown that chemokines generated during an immune response can harm the periodontal ligaments, gingiva, and alveolar bone. Various chemokine genes located on different chromosomes contribute to periodontitis, and one such gene is C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), associated with the rs1024611 polymorphism, which is part of a cytokine gene cluster on the q-arm of chromosome 17. ObjectiveOur specific objective was to investigate whether CCL2 polymorphisms could influence the relative risk of developing periodontitis. Building on these findings, we aimed to compare the frequency of a specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the CCL2 gene between individuals with and without periodontitis. Materials and methodsFifty participants were enrolled in the study after obtaining informed consent and ethical clearance. Clinical assessments, including probing pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, and bleeding on probing, were utilized to classify individuals into two groups: a control group (Group A, n=25) and a periodontitis group (Group B, n=25). DNA extraction from collected samples involved drawing 2 ml of venous blood from the antecubital fossa and transferring it into a sterile tube with a pinch of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) to prevent clotting. DNA extraction was performed and polymorphisms of CCL2 were assessed through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction enzyme digestion. ResultsThe periodontitis group consisted of 25 patients, with an average age of 39.0±0.22 years, who met the American Academy of Periodontology's 2018 criteria for at least stage II periodontitis. The control group comprised 25 individuals with an average age of 41.3±0.49 years. Regarding the CCL2 gene polymorphism (rs1024611), there was no substantial variation in genotype frequencies between the patients and controls (p = 0.695). An agarose gel electrophoretogram, along with a standard DNA ladder, demonstrated partial amplification of the CCL2 gene spanning the polymorphism site (rs1024611). Genotypes observed were as follows: homozygous AA -333 bp; heterozygous AG -333 + 250 + 73 bp; homozygous GG -250 + 73 bp. ConclusionIn conclusion, there is no significant association between the CCL2 gene polymorphism rs1024611 and susceptibility to periodontitis.
