Additionally, the GG genotype and G allele of rs2910164 were more prevalent in PI patients, who also exhibited poorer periodontal status. The GG genotype and G allele were identified as risk factors for PI. miR-146a-3p may contribute to PI progression by regulating inflammation-related signaling pathways. The existence of miR-146a-3p and ITBG7 had a negative regulatory relationship.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The miR-146a-3p rs2910164 polymorphism holds promise as a potential biomarker for predicting PI occurrence. miR-146a-3p might modulate inflammation-related signaling pathways via ITBG7 and may play a role in the regulation of PI progression.</p>","PeriodicalId":7313,"journal":{"name":"Acta Odontologica Scandinavica","volume":"85 ","pages":"265-274"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13200258/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147979896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
