Relationship between endothelial nitric oxide synthase Glu298Asp gene polymorphisms and the chronic periodontitis with type 2 diabetes mellitus / 华西口腔医学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the relationship between endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) Glu298Asp gene polymorphism and chronic periodontitis (CP) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>DNA from patients' buccal swabs of CP, CP with T2DM, T2DM and health was isolated and extracted. The eNOS Glu298Asp gene polymorphism were assessed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The distribution of eNOS Glu298Asp genotype in CP group, T2DM group, CP with T2DM group and health group showed statistical differences (chi2 = 18.503, P = 0.005), and the gene frequency showed statistical differences (chi2 = 8.243, P = 0.041). Compared health group to CP with T2DM group, OR value of the genetype T was 0.962, 95% confidence interval lay in between 0.737 to 1.256, which showed T maybe a protective factor. While OR value of the genetype G was 1.043, 95% confidence interval lay in between 0.781 to 1.391, which showed G maybe a risk factor. However, neither T nor G was statistically significant.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Based on these findings, there are some association between eNOS Glu298Asp polymorphism and the risk of CP group, T2DM group, CP with T2DM group.</p>

Association of estrogen receptor gene XbaI and PvuⅡ polymorphisms with aggressive periodontitis / 实用口腔医学杂志

Objective; To study estrogen receptor gene Xbal and Pvu Ⅱ polymorphisms in patients with aggressive periodontitis (AgP). Methods; Xbal and Pvu Ⅱ DNA was extracted by Chelex-100 and amplified by PCR from buccal swabs of 48 cases of AgP patients and 60 normal controls. The PCR products were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction linked fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. Results: There were significant differences of the distribution of Xba I genotype between AgP group and control group, female AgP group and female control group, male AgP group and male control group(P<0.05). There was no difference of Pvu D genotype distribution between patient group and control group (P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic Regression Analysis showed that male group was less susceptible to AgP than female group(OR =0. 352), the older was less susceptible to AgP than the younger(OR =0.950), and the xxXx genotype was less susceptible to AgP than XX genotype [OR(Xx) =0.224, OR(xx) = 0.678). Conclusion: Specific relationship is found between the susceptibility of AgP and the ER gene-Xbal polymorphism. People with XX genotype is more susceptive to AgP than xx, Xx genotypes.
