“…18 Recently, some comprehensive and detailed reviews have presented convincing evidence for heritable components of both susceptibility and progression (or severity) of periodontal diseases. [19][20][21][22][23] Many studies have focused on the potential role of several cytokines involved in the inflammatory response, among which some of the most investigated are the IL-1a, IL-1b and IL-1Ra, [24][25][26][27][28] genes which are all located on the long arm of chromosome 2 (region 2q13-14).…”

“…The recent years has seen enormous research attempts in the study for genetic factors that may predispose individuals to periodontitis, as one of the most common chronic infectious disease in humans (1)(2)(3). The most frequently occurring form of periodontitis is chronic periodontitis (CP) that is caused by periodontopathic bacteria.…”

“…To date, studies have shown that all normal cells such as inflammatory cells, vascular endothelial cells, gingival fibroblasts, and epithelial cells can synthesize TGF-β, yet for research purposes this cytokine has been extracted from human placenta, platelets and bovine kidney (5,6). Transforming growth factor β inhibits growth of epithelial cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, neuronal cells and lymphocytes (3,5). It acts as a stimulating factor for mesenchymal cells differentiation (3).…”
