The review concluded that there is currently limited evidence to implicate a specific IL-1 genotype as a risk factor for chronic periodontitis in white populations.
We found that the statistically significant association of IL1A-889C/T (rs1800587), IL1B -31C/T (rs1143627), IL1B -511A/G (rs16944) and IL1B + 3954C/T (rs1143634) gene polymorphisms with increased susceptibility of chronic periodontitis.
Our results provide evidence that polymorphisms in genes of the IL-1 family are associated with severe adult periodontitis in the absence of other risk factors tested in this patient population.
We examined IL-1A(-889) and IL-1B(+3953) alleles in Caucasian patients with AP and early-onset periodontitis (EOP), patients with dental implants and healthy individuals.
A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in an attempt to clarify whether IL-1 gene variants were associated with well-defined clinical phenotypes of CP in white patients.
Polymorphisms in the interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) genes have been associated with an increased severity of chronic periodontitis.
We will focus on inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-1, and IL-6, because they have been shown to be increased in patients with chronic periodontitis, in patients with chronic systemic diseases, and in patients with both chronic periodontitis and other chronic diseases.
The objectives of this study were to determine the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL1B (-511, +3954), IL1A (-889, +4845), and the variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs) polymorphism in the IL-1RN gene with chronic periodontitis susceptibility and to analyze gene-gene interactions in a hospital-based sample population from South India.
These results indicate that genotype and protein production of IL-1α, IL-1β and IL-1RN are associated with CP in a Chinese population, and might be putative risk indicators for chronic periodontitis.
