Polymorphisms in the +252(A/G) lymphotoxin‐alpha and the −308(A/G) tumor necrosis factor‐alpha genes and susceptibility to chronic periodontitis in a Czech population

Abstract: Our data suggest that combined genotypes composed of the TNF-alpha and LT-alpha gene polymorphisms may influence the susceptibility to chronic periodontitis. We also showed that, comparing the two genes, the 1/1 genotype of the NcoI polymorphism in the first intron of the LT-alpha gene is a more informative marker and it may be one of the protective genetic factors against chronic periodontitis in our population.

“…One of them, rs1041981, is exonic with a threonine-to-asparagine change (36) causing increased expression of adhesion molecules, such as VCAM-1 and E-selectin (37). The other SNP (rs909253) has been associated with periodontal disease (34,35), as well as with myocardial infarction (37), rheumatoid arthritis (38), and asthma (39). In our study, these two SNPs were associated with current periodontitis and the homozygous subjects had higher serum LTA concentrations.…”

“…It is expressed by lymphocytes (T, B, and natural killer cells) (31) and may exist in cell-bound and soluble forms (32). LTA gene polymorphism has also previously been associated with susceptibility to periodontitis (10,(33)(34)(35). In our study, five significant SNPs in the original study were located in the LTA gene and two of them were part of the risk haplotype.…”

“…44 IL-1 gibi periodontitisin patogenezinde önemli role sahip olan TNF-α'nın gen polimorfizmi ile periodontitis arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendiren çalışmalara göre TNF-α geninin allel sıklığı da IL-1 gibi farklı etnik toplumlarda çeşitlilik gös-termektedir. TNF-α gen polimorfizmi ile periodontitis arasında ilişki olduğunu belirten çalış-malara 47 karşın, ilişkinin olmadığını ileri süren çalışmalar da [47][48][49][50][70][71][72][73] bulunmaktadır. Periodontal hastalıkta etkili olabilen bir diğer antienflamatuvar sitokin de IL-10'nun promoter polimorfizmleridir.…”
