Abstract
Objective
CRP gene polymorphism is common in inflammatory diseases, but such association has not been reported in periodontitis. Our objective was to interrogate SNPs of crp in chronic periodontitis in a case–control manner.
Methods
DNAs were extracted from mouthwash samples of 116 volunteers using salting-out method. Selected 12 5′UTR SNPs of crp were genotyped using ARMS–PCR.
Results
TC genotype of − 757T > C polymorphism (rs3093059) showed protective association (OR— 0.29, 95%CI—0.12–0.68, and p—0.004), and wild type − 757TT showed susceptible association with a p value of 0.008 (OR—3.09, 95%CI—1.33–7.15).
Conclusion
The observation of protective and susceptible association of crp − 757T > C polymorphism may be useful for better management and prophylaxis of periodontitis.
