Screening of Genetic Factor in the Interaction Between Periodontitis and Metabolic Traits Using Candidate Gene Association Study (CGAS)
2019
Moon, Kyung-Hui
Periodontitis has been reported to relate to metabolic syndrome traits such as obesity, blood pressure, and so on. However, the relation between periodontitis and metabolic syndrome remains unclear. The present study aimed to confirm common genetic factors between periodontitis and metabolic traits using Candidate gene association study (CGAS) in the Korean population. Based on the analysis of CGAS, this study performed linear regression analyses to examine the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between periodontitis and metabolic syndrome traits. Among the analyzed SNPs, 2649 SNPs in five genes (TENM2, LDLRAD4, SLC9C2, MFSD1, and A2BP1) showed a statistical significance at p < 0.05. Interestingly, A2BP1 and TENM2 were related to obesity. Also, elevated levels of LDLRAD4, SLC9C2, and MFSD1 were observed in the patients with high blood pressure. Taken together, the present study suggests that some of the SNPs are related to periodontitis. Therefore, if any of TENM2, A2BP1, LDLRAD4, SLC9C2, and MFSD1 is detected in the patients with periodontitis, obesity and blood pressure have to be treated simultaneously.
