Analysis of Transforming Growth Factor-Beta1 Gene Polymorphisms in Macedonian Patients with Chronic Periodontitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Material and methods. The sample consisted of 301 healthy unrelated individuals, and 132 patients with periodontitis. All individuals were of Macedonian origin and nationality and residents of different regions of the Republic of Macedonia. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes by the phenol-chlorophorm extraction method. Cytokine polymorphism genotyping was performed by PCR-SSP (Heidelberg kit). The population genetics analysis package (PyPop) was used for analysis of the data. Crude odds ratios, were calculated with 95% confidence interval. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Abstract: Background and Aim: The increasing incidence of infertility is alarming. About 10-30% of infertility are classified as Unexplained Infertility (UI) which is not an absolute clinical condition. TGF-b1 is multifunctional cytokine and produced mainly by T regulatory (Treg) lymphocytes. This cytokine plays important roles in physiology of normal pregnancy. The association of Single...

Background: Cytokines are suggested to play a role in periodontitis. Objective: To determine and compare the levels of Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples amongst healthy individuals and those with chronic periodontitis. Further to compare the GCF cytokine levels in three genotype classes defined by the respective gene p...

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the status of RANKL6-7 gene polymorphism in patients with chronic (mild, moderate, severe) and aggressive periodontitis as well as healthy controls. We examined80 patients for the RANKL6-7 polymorphisms (rs1054016 and rs9567000). Polymorphism was determinedby polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by direct sequencing. No statistica...

Background: Regulatory CD4+T (Treg) cells are effective in maintaining immune tolerance. Objective: To investigate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Transforming Growth Factor β-1 (TGF-β1) and Forkhead Box Protein 3 (FOXP3) genes in Iranian patients with allergic rhinitis (AR). Methods: Variations at codons 10 and 25 of TGF-β1 and FOXP3 at positions -3279 A>C and -924 A>G were evaluated...
متن کاملIL1 cluster gene polymorphisms in Macedonian patients with chronic periodontitis.
Several studies have investigated the genetic polymorphisms for cytokines as potential genetic markers for periodontitis. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of IL1 cluster genes polymorphisms and their association with chronic periodontitis in the Macedonian population. The group of 114 unrelated Macedonian subjects with chronic periodontitis and 301 periodontitis-free Macedo...
