Polymorphisms in the interleukin genes and chronic periodontitis: A field synopsis and revaluation by Bayesian approaches.

This study aimed to assess the noteworthiness in the meta-analyses by means of a Bayesian approach to determinate possible false report associations. A systematic search was performed for meta-analyses with associations between gene polymorphisms in interleukins and CP. The calculations for the False-Positive Rate Probability (FPRP) and the Bayesian False Discovery Probability (BFDP) were performed to assess the noteworthiness with a statistical power of 1.2 and 1.5 of Odds Ratio at a prior probability of 10-3 and 10-6. As results, eight meta-analyses approaching the IL1A/rs1800587, IL1B/rs1143634, IL1RN/rs2234663, IL4/rs2243250, IL6/rs1800795/rs1800796, IL17A/rs2275913 and IL18/rs1946518/rs187238 polymorphisms have been identified. Twenty-two from 270 calculations (8.15%) were noteworthy. Herein, we have identified the IL1A and IL1B polymorphisms as noteworthy biomarkers for CP susceptibility.
