Lack of association between the TNF- α-1031genotypes and generalized aggressive periodontitis disease.

Lack of association between the TNF-α-1031genotypes and generalized aggressive periodontitis disease. Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2016 Sep 30;62(11):63-66 Authors: Darvishi E, Aziziaram Z, Yari K, Bagheri Dehbaghi M, Kahrizi D, Karim H, Vaziri S, Zargooshi J, Ghadiri K, Muhammadi S, Kazemi E, Moradi MT, Shokrinia M, Mohammadi N Abstract Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent inflammatory illnesses and is a main cause of tooth loss in human population. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) gene is one of pro-inflammatory cytokines which has important role in pathogenesis of periodontal disease. The main purpose of this study is to determine genotype abundance of TNF-α-1031 gene in both groups of patients and controls, and also investigation of relation of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) these genotypes with periodontal disease risk. DNA was extracted from blood tissue of 31 patients and 54 controls. The TNF-α-1031 polymorphism was evaluated by polymerase chain reaction- confronting two-pair primer (PCR-CTPP) method. In the GAP group, the frequencies of TT, TC and CC genotypes were 35.48%, 61.29 and 3.23%, respectively. In controls the frequencies of TT, TC and CC genotypes were 22.22%, 72.22%, and 5.56%, respectively. Results of this study showed that there was no significant association between TNF-α (-1031 T/C promoter) gene polymorphisms and the risk of generalized aggressive periodontitis disease. PMID: ...
