目的:探讨白细胞介素-1受体拮抗剂(interleukin-1 receptor antagonist,IL-1ra)基因型与冠心病(coronary heart disease,CHD)患者患慢性牙周炎(chronic periodontitis,CP)易感性的关系。方法:选取冠心病患者86例,其中冠心病伴慢性牙周炎患者45例,单纯冠心病患者41例。取颊黏膜拭子,提取DNA,采用序列特异引物聚合酶链反应(sequence specific primers-polymerase chain reaction,SSP-PCR)法测定IL-1RN内含子2/VNTR位点的基因型,比较各基因型检出率的差别,采用SPSS13.0软件包进行统计学处理。结果:IL-1RN内含子2/VNTR等位基因2在冠心病伴慢性牙周炎组的检出率显著高于单纯冠心病组,差异有统计学意义(χ^2=4.960,P=0.026)。结论:在冠心病患者中,IL-1RN内含子2/VNTR等位基因2可能与其慢性牙周炎的遗传易感性相关。
PURPOSE: To investigate the correlation between interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) genotype and chronic periodontitis in patients with coronary heart disease. METHODS: Genomic DNA was obtained from buccal swabs in 86 patients with coronary heart disease,of which 45 patients with chronic periodontitis, the other without chronic periodontitis. Genotypes of IL-1RN intron 2 VNTR were analyzed by SSP-PCR method. Then the differences in distribution of each genotype were analyzed with SPSS 13.0 software package. RESULTS: A significant over-representation of IL-1 RN intron 2 VNTR allele 2 was found in patients with coronary heart disease and chronic periodontitis group (χ^2= 4.960,P=0.026). CONCLUSION: IL-1RN intron 2 VNTR allele 2 may be a risk indicator for the susceptibility of chronic periodontitis in patients with coronary heart disease.
