Abstract
Introduction
Periodontitis is a complex disease caused by environmental and genetic factors. The course of periodontal destruction is influenced by local, ecological, and, predominantly, by genetic factors. Therefore, early detection of the disease through genomics and its course of destruction can be altered through genetic engineering, which can be a major breakthrough in the eradication of periodontitis.
Aim
The purpose of this study is to find the genetic association of TGF-β1 gene polymorphisms in causing periodontitis in the North Indian population.
Materials and methods
A total of 364 subjects were selected in the present study, and they were divided into two groups, viz. Healthy (Group A) and Periodontitis (Group B), with 182 subjects in each. The detailed case history was recorded, buccal swab samples were collected and stored in the sterile medium at 4 °C. Correlation studies on gene polymorphism with the disease occurrence were carried out by estimating allele frequency, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE), and chi-square test (GenAlex package), and linkage disequilibrium and haplotype analysis (SHEsis).
Result
The gene TGF-β1 showed a high rate of polymorphism in the north Indian population. The TGF-β1 gene showed polymorphism in the studied SNP sites. Among them, −29C/T and −788 C/T could differentiate the healthy and generalized periodontitis group; however, the localized periodontitis group could not be differentiated with any of the SNP loci.
Conclusion
The gene TGF-β1 showed association with periodontitis in the North Indian Population.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR)is the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF). The journal aims to provide a common platform for both clinical and translational research and to promote interdisciplinary sciences in craniofacial region. JOBCR publishes content that includes diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and jaws and face region; diagnosis and medical management of diseases specific to the orofacial tissues and of oral manifestations of systemic diseases; studies on identifying populations at risk of oral disease or in need of specific care, and comparing regional, environmental, social, and access similarities and differences in dental care between populations; diseases of the mouth and related structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin; biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and stem cells. The journal publishes reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communication, and case reports.
