RESUMO

Agressive periodontitis (AgP) is a relatively uncommon form of periodontal disease characterized by a rapid destruction of the periodontal supporting tissues in young adults who are usually systemically well. The results of population and family studies indicate that genetic factors seem to have a strong influence on susceptibility to AP. Genetic polymorphism at the interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFA) were associated with the increase on the severity of chronic periodontitis. The aim of this study was to explore a possible association between IL-1A and TNFA genotypes in Brazilian white Caucasian patients with aggressive periodontitis. Sixty nonsmoking subjects, 30 patients and 30 periodontal healthy controls were included in the study. All subjects were systemically healthy. Two polymorphisms, IL-1A (-889) and TNFA (-308), were analyzed by means of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The 1/1 genotype for IL-1A was present in 63.3% of the controls and in 56.7% of the aggressive periodontitis patients. The genotype 1/2 was present in 26.7% of the controls and in 40% of the patients. The 2/2 genotype was present in 10% of the controls and in 3.3% of the diseased subjects. The 1/1 genotype for the TNFA was present in 73.3% of the controls and in 80% of the patients. The genotype 1/2 was present in the 20% of both groups. The genotype 2/2 was present in 6.7% of the controls and was not detected in the patients group. With regard to the IL-1A (-889) genotype, 76.7% of controls and patients were positive for allele 1. Allele 1 of the TNFA (-308) polymorphism was carried by 83.3% of the controls and 90% of the patients and allele 2 was carried by 16.7% of the controls and 10% of the patients. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in the distribution of genotypes for both genes between the two groups. No association was found between AgP and the IL-1A (-889) and TNFA (-308) polymorphisms investigated in the population presented here.
