Objective:
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that is a result of the interaction between pathogenic bacteria and host immune response. Genetic alterations in interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene may be associated with the increased risk of periodontitis. We investigated the association between genotype and haplotype frequencies of IL-10 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to periodontitis in an Iranian population.
Methods:
In this case-control study, a total of 64 patients with periodontitis and 128 healthy subjects were recruited. The PCR-RFLP technique was used to detect IL-10 promoter genotypes at the positions of -1082 (G/A), -819 (C/T), and -592 (C/A) in association with the susceptibility to severe chronic periodontitis.
Results:
Regarding IL-10 -592 (C/A) and IL-10 -819 (C/T) alleles and genotypes, no significant association was observed between the risk of periodontitis and genotype frequencies. However, the frequency of GG genotype in IL-10 -1082 (G/A) polymorphic region was higher in normal subjects and was associated with the decreased risk of periodontitis under recessive model [OR = 2.89, 95% CI (0.99-8.43), p = 0.039]. Haplotype analysis revealed a significantly higher presence of H7 (AGC; -592/-1082/-819) [OR = 97.74, 95% CI (95.52-99.96), p < 0.0001].
Conclusion:
IL-10 -1082(G/A) polymorphism and AGC (-592/-1082/-819) haplotype could be associated with the susceptibility to chronic periodontitis.
