Volume 21, Issue 1 (10-2008)
Abstract

Background and Aim: A single nucleotide polymorphism at codon 72 of the p53 gene alters the p53 protein structure and affects its activity. This polymorphism depends on geographic regions and race. Also its association with some cancers has been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate this polymorphism in well differentiated oral SCC and normal population in the city of Isfahan.

Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 20 paraffin blocks of non metastatic and well differentiated oral SCC were selected from the archive of oral pathology department of dental school between 2001 and 2005. 20 whole blood samples from normal people were considered as control group. After DNA extraction, p53 codon 72 polymorphism was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique using specific primers of Arg and Pro and agarose gel electrophoresis. Data were analyzed by Fisher's exact test with p<0.05 as the level of significance.

Results: The prevalence of Arg/Arg , Arg/Pro and Pro/Pro genotypes in case group were 45%,45% and 10% respectively compared to 45%,50% and 5% in controls. There was no statistical significant difference in p53 codon 72 genotypes distribution between case and control groups.

Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, p53 polymorphism could not be considered as a genetic predisposing factor for oral SCC development in Isfahan.

Volume 33, Issue 1 (7-2020)
Abstract
Background and Aims: Periodontitis is one of the most common causes of damage to the gums and retaining structures of the teeth. Matrix protein, a metalloproteinase, is known as intermediate collagenase and the enzyme collagenase fibroblast, which is encoded in humans by the MMP-1 gene. The aim of this study was to investigate 1G/2G polymorphism in the MMP-1 gene and its association with the periodontal disease in the Iranian patients.
Materials and Methods: In this study, 50 patients with periodontal disease and 50 patients were selected as the control group in Kerman city. DNA was extracted from a person's blood sample using a kit. The desired primers were controlled by the NCBI site. Then, with the Tetra arms PCR technique, the desired polymorphism was multiplied. In the next step, the samples were transferred to electrophoresis gel and examined. The results were analyzed with SPSS software using T-test or Squer Chi-(X2).
Results: The percentage of 1G/1G genotype in the patients group was 8% and for the controls group was 0%. The percentage of 2G/2G genotype for the patients group was 24% and for the controls group was 18%. In addition, the 1G/2G genotype frequency was 68% for the patients group, and for the controls group was 82% (P=0.83). The results of Tetra-arms PCR genotyping of the samples were confirmed by sequencing.
Conclusion: The findings indicated that in Iranian patients, MMP-1 -1607 1G/2G (rs1799750) was not significantly associated with periodontal disease. It is recommended to take more samples from different parts of Iran to confirm the results.

Study of association between rs7975232 polymorphism in vitamin D receptor gene and periodontitis by Tetra Arms PCR

Volume 33, Issue 4 (1-2021)
Abstract
Background and Aims: Periodontitis is an inflammatory multifactorial disease in oral tissues and many genetic reasons and environmental factors responsible. Vitamin D deficiency has been determined to be related to periodontal disease. This aim of this study was to investigate the association between rs7975232 polymorphism in vitamin D Receptor gene and periodontitis in 100 patients (as patient and control groups).
Materials and Methods: Blood samples from 50 patients and 50 control groups were selected and DNA from the samples was extracted by the DNA extraction kit. Genotyping was used by Tetra Arms-PCR method. The use of sequencing was confirmed by the Tetra Arms-PCR genotyping results. Then, statistical analysis was performed using SPSS statistics 20 software and T-test.
Results: Frequency of AA, AC, and CC Genotypes were 25 (50%), 14 (28%), and 11 (22%) in patients’ cases, and 26 (52%), 16 (32%) and 8 (16%) in controls, respectively. AA genotype was the highest genotype between the patient and control groups. Statistical analysis showed no significant association between this type of polymorphism and periodontitis disease in the studied samples (P=0.67).
Conclusion: This finding showed there was not significant association between rs7975232 polymorphism in vitamin D Receptor gene and periodontitis disease in the studied samples. To confirm the results of this study, further studies with large sample size and different types of population are recommended.
