SNPs of Fc-gamma Receptor Genes and Chronic Periodontitis

Abstract

Genetic polymorphisms of host defense genes might increase risk for periodontitis. This case-control study investigated whether 102 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Fc gamma receptor (FCGR) genes are associated with chronic periodontitis. Cases were 190 Hong Kong Chinese patients with severe chronic periodontitis, and there were 169 periodontitis-free individuals as controls. Genotype CC and allele C of rs445509 (p < 0.0001, OR = 0.30) of FCGR3A were significantly more prevalent among control individuals than among cases, after adjustment for age, sex, and smoking. Smoking was significantly associated with chronic periodontitis (p = 0.003, OR = 3.35). Within the limitations of this study, SNP rs445509 of FCGR3A seem to be negatively associated, while smoking was positively associated, with severe chronic periodontitis among Hong Kong Chinese.
