Periodontal disease: a genetic perspective

Abstract: Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease that causes tooth loss. The complex pathogenesis of periodontitis implies the involvement of a susceptible host and a bacterial challenge. Many studies have provided a valuable contribution to understanding the genetic basis of periodontal disease, but the specific candidate genes of susceptibility are still unknown. In fact, genome-wide studies and screening of single-nucleotide polymorphisms have yielded new genetic information without a definitive solution for the m… Show more

“…Chronic periodontitis is the result of complex interaction between different genetic and non-genetic factors. The heritability, familial aggregation, twin studies, analyses of candidate loci and GWAS reveal that the genetic component has a weak or moderate effect on disease predisposition [10,11].…”

“…Several genetic polymorphisms have been studied for their relationship to periodontitis, including several interleukin (IL) genes, vitamin D receptors, and FcγRIIIb-NA1 gene. However, there is still no predictive as a diagnostic or prognostic marker to identify patients in the general population who are at periodontitis risk due to population heterogeneity and different disease criteria [12,13].…”

“…Diabetes is also associated with periodontitis and it has been postulated that a more complete analysis of the periodontal microbiome is necessary to determine if this disease is associated with a dysbiotic periodontal community. Human genetic risk factors have been, and remain, the subject of numerous studies, which have been reviewed elsewhere . It will be interesting to see, in the future, if any of the putative periopathogenic single nucleotide polymorphisms in host‐response and other genes are associated with dysbiotic oral communities.…”
