“…However, in this study, IL-6 GG genotypes could not modify the risk of chronic periodontitis but increased the risk of aggressive periodontitis. Several studies have been published on whether the IL-6 polymorphism predisposes to periodontitis (29)(30)(31). However, the results of studies on the associations between these polymorphism and clinical forms of periodontitis are contradictory (13,19,32,33).…”

“…First, Trevilatto et al reported an association between IL-6(-174) gene polymorphism and CP in the Caucasian race. 11 After that,several studies found different results regarding the relationship between IL-6(-174) gene polymorphism and periodontal disease. Some of these studies did not find any association between IL-6(-174) gene polymorphism and CP, 12,13,14,15 however some others found associations.…”

“…Moreover, the host response is influenced by several possible risk factors including genetic factors. Previous studies indicated that chronic periodontitis (CP) may have a genetic background (12,13), as well as PID (14,15).…”
