The association between selected RANKL gene polymorphisms and chronic/aggressive periodontitis in Iranian subjects

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

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 statistically significant associationwas found between the polymorphism in the RANKL 7 gene and periodontal disease (P<0.55).There was also no polymorphic allele observed in RANKL 6 gene of the study population. We found noassociation between the studied RANKL polymorphisms and chronic/aggressive periodontitis.

The Association between TNF-alpha Gene Polymorphisms and Endometriosis in An Iranian Population

Objective Objective: TNF-α is an important cytokine in acute inflammatory response to infective factors. It seems that this response increases in patients with endometriosis due to presence of cytokines such as TNF-α which has been investigated in patients with endometriosis in different populations. This study aimed at examining four polymorphisms; TNF-α -238G/A, -308G/A, -857C/T and -863C/A a...

Evaluation of RANK/RANKL/OPG gene polymorphisms in aggressive periodontitis.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Aggressive periodontitis (AgP) is a specific type of periodontal disease that is characterized by rapid attachment loss and bone destruction. While attempting to identify genetic polymorphisms associated with AgP, previous research has focused on candidate genes that may be involved in immune responses to microbial infections. In this study, the focus was on single nucl...

Association between Cytochrome P450 2C19 Gene Polymorphisms and Hematological Malignancies in an Iranian Population

Background: Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) is widely involved in the metabolism of some medications. On the other hand, recent studies have shown the contribution of the CYP2C19 polymorphisms to different malignancies. We aimed to investigate the association between CYP2C19 polymorphism and occurrence of hematological malignancies by comparing the phenotype distribution of this enzyme in patien...
