The data suggest that TNFA (-857) C/T and IL-1A (-889) C/T polymorphisms are not associated with susceptibility to GAgP in this Romanian population, potentially because of the small sample size.
We report a novel missense mutation of CAMP gene. p.S34N mutation in CAMP gene seems to be contributing factor for generalized aggressive periodontitis, but not for chronic periodontitis.
The frequencies of the IL1RN genotype A1A2 (chi(2) test; P = 0.001) and allele A2 (chi(2) test; P = 0.006) were found to be significantly increased in patients with GAgP compared to normal subjects.
The study indicates that FokI polymorphism of vitamin D receptor gene might be associated with generalized aggressive periodontitis in Chinese patients.
We extracted genomic DNA from 45 young adults diagnosed with generalized aggressive periodontitis to study Fc receptors, formyl peptide receptor, Interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and vitamin D receptor polymorphisms.
In the present study, we tested polymorphisms, derived from genes of the IL-1 cluster, for association with generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAP) through both allelic association and by constructing a linkage disequilibrium (LD) map of the 2q13-14 disease candidate region.
CP was characterized by increased expression of genes related to responses to external stimuli and an underexpression of immune system-related genes. qRT-PCR analysis confirmed microarray results, that killer cell immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptor, two Ig domains and long cytoplasmic tail 4; interleukin-6; and selectin E were more highly expressed in patients from the GAgP group compared with the CP and H groups.
CP was characterized by the increased expression of genes related to responses to external stimuli and an under-expression of immune system-related genes. qRT-PCR analysis confirmed the microarray results, that KIR2DL4, IL6 and SELE were highly expressed in GAgP than CP or H patients.
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8 and tissue inhibitor of MMP-1 (TIMP-1) gene polymorphisms in generalized aggressive periodontitis: gingival crevicular fluid MMP-8 and TIMP-1 levels and outcome of periodontal therapy.
Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by palmoplantar keratoderma together with a severe form of generalized aggressive periodontitis and associated with mutations in cathepsin C gene (CTSC).
Subjects who presented generalized AgP have a higher frequency of hypomethylation of the IL8 gene promoter in oral epithelium cells than that of controls (86.5% in the generalized AgP group versus 62% in the control group; P = 0.016; chi(2) test).
The concentration of ACh, cholinesterase activity and IL-17A levels was elevated in PICF of patients with GAgP compared to PH individuals at baseline and 1 month post-placement.
Effects of Er,Cr:YSGG and Diode Lasers on Clinical Parameters and Gingival Crevicular Fluid IL-1<i>β</i> and IL-37 Levels in Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis.
The aim of this prospective case-control study was to determine the relationship between non-neuronal cholinergic signalling mechanisms, secreted Ly-6/uPAR-related protein-1 (SLURP-1), interleukin-17 (IL-17) family cytokines and healing of dental implants in health and GAgP.
