AbstractAim: To investigate the association of polymorphisms in the osteoprotegerin (OPG) and interleukin 1 (IL‐1) genes with chronic periodontitis (CP).Material and Methods: One hundred and ninety‐four individuals (97 CP patients, 97 controls) were genotyped for the OPG polymorphisms Lys3Asn and Met256Val and for the IL‐1 polymorphisms IL‐1A (−889C/T) and IL‐1B (+3953C/T).Results: The homozygous variants coding for Lys3 were present at a higher frequency, whereas Asn3 and Met256 were present at a lower frequency in CP patients/controls (Lys3: 31%/25%, Asn3: 23%/32% and Met256: 66%/73%). Heterozygosity for Lys3Asn was observed at a higher frequency in CP patients/controls (46%/43%). Homozygosity for the Val256 genotype was observed in two CP patients (one in controls). Met256Val heterozygosity was more prevalent in CP patients/controls (32%/20%). All differences were statistically not significant between CP patients and controls. In contrast, both IL‐1 polymorphisms were statistically significant. The heterozygous variant for IL‐1A was present in 32% of the CP patients and in 20% of the controls (homozygosity (patients/controls) CC: 10%/21% and TT: 55%/33%). Heterozygosity for IL‐1B was observed in 37% of the CP patients versus 34% in the controls (homozygosity (patients/controls) CC: 26%/57% and TT: 37%/9%).Conclusion: While the association between the IL‐1 polymorphisms and CP was confirmed, no association between the OPG polymorphisms and CP could be found.
