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.
