Association of Fc gamma-receptor genes polymorphisms with chronic periodontitis and Peri-Implantitis.

This study was conducted on 87 patients with chronic periodontitis (CP), 50 patients with peri-implantitis and 90 periodontally healthy individuals referring to the Department of Periodontics for evaluating the association between Fc gamma-receptor genes polymorphisms with CP and peri-implantitis. After obtaining consent, venous blood samples (5cc) were obtained from patients and DNA was extracted using Miller's salting-out method. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism and tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-PCR methods were used to assess the polymorphisms of FcγRs IIa, IIIa, and IIIb genes. Analyzing showed a significant association between specific genotypes with increasing CP and peri-implantitis risks in codominant and dominant models. For FcγR IIIa, analyzing revealed a significant association between specific genotypes with increasing CP and peri-implantitis risks in codominant, dominant, and recessive models. For FcγR IIIb, we also detected a significant association between specific genotypes with increasing CP and peri-implantitis risks in codominant, dominant, and recessive models ( P < 0.05). According to the results of this study, the FCGRIIa (rs1801274), FCGRIIIa (rs396991), and FCGRIIIb (rs1050501) polymorphisms were significantly associated with CP and peri-implantitis and may have a role in the pathogenesis of these diseases.
