Özet
Aim: Host response to periodontopathic microorganisms can be modulated by genetic factors. Accumulated evidence highlighted the role of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in inflammatory response thus potential implication of this molecular system in the pathogenesis of periodontitis can be suggested. The present study investigated common genetic variants of molecules within the RAS family namely angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensinogen (AGT) and angiotensin 11 type 1 receptor (AT1R) in relation to generalized aggressive periodontitis (G-AgP). Methods: DNA was obtained from peripheral blood of 103 G-AgP patients and 100 periodontally healthy subjects. ACE I/D, AGT M235T and AT1R A1166C polymorphisms were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Chi-square, ANOVA and logistic regression were used in statistical analyses. Results: Both ACE I/D and ATIR polymorphisms were similar in G-AgP and healthy groups (p>0.05). G-AgP subjects exhibited decreased ACT TT genotype and T allele frequency as compared to healthy subjects (p<0.05). The same trend was also observed in the nonsmoker subgroup regarding investigated RAS polymorphisms. Conclusions: Present findings suggest that AGT M235T TT genotype and T allele might be associated with decreased risk for G-AgP in Turkish population. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
