Clinical Trial Summary

Generalized aggressive Periodontitis (GAgP) and chronic periodontitis (CP) are inflammatory diseases. Little is known about molecular changes and signaling cascade of host response. Inflammatory diseases are undercontrol of genetic and enviromental factors. Transcription factors are gene-specific factors that are often considered to act as a link connecting genetic and enviromental factors.

The aim of this study is to investigate the gene regions that are thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of GAgP and CP, and to interpret new and reliable pathognomonic-prognostic markers in the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases with the help of expression and mutation analyzes and polymorphism studies.


Clinical Trial Description

Generalized aggressive Periodontitis (GAgP) is a multifactorial, destructive, inflammatory and complex disease. The progression of the disease is undercontrol of immunologic, microbiologic, environmental and genetic factors. The immunologic and genetic factors are not clearly defined yet.

Chronic periodontitis (CP) is an infectious disease resulting within the supporting tissues of the teeth. It is commonly detected in adults. CP is initiated and sustained by bacterial plaque.

Both AgP and CP are inflammatory diseases. Little is known about molecular changes and signaling cascade of host response. Inflammatory diseases are undercontrol of genetic and environmental factors. Transcription factors are gene-specific factors that are often considered to act as a link connecting genetic and environmental factors.

This research is a continuation project. In the previous 2 studies which were conducted and published with the support of TÜBİTAK 1001 and KOU BAP, it was found 2 gene regions thought to have an effect on GAgP and KP pathogenesis by genomics, proteomics and immunohistochemical methods; MZB1 and ECH1. The aim of this study is to confirm these gene regions by gene expression analysis, mutation analysis and polymorphism studies.

In the literature, there was no study on the genome analysis, protein activity and immunohistochemical examination of these genes in the CP and GAgP. There was no study that evaluated the expression, mutation and polymorphism studies.

The first 2 steps of the study were completed with the support provided by Kocaeli University Scientific Research Project Unit [119.500,00 TL (KOU BAP 2013/5)] and TUBITAK [(TÜBİTAK 1001 214S008, 261.500,00 TL)].

The aim of this study is to investigate the gene regions that are thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of GAgP and CP, and to interpret new and reliable pathognomonic-prognostic markers in the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases with the help of expression and mutation analyzes and polymorphism studies. Gene sites identified and clinically relevant in this study will serve as the basis for another study in which these genes are aimed at silencing.,,,

This research is a continuation project. In the previous 2 studies which were conducted and published with the support of TÜBİTAK 1001 and KOU BAP, it was found 2 gene regions that concluded which may have an effect on GAgP and KP pathogenesis by genomics, proteomics and immunohistochemical methods; MZB1 and ECH1. The aim of this study is to confirm these gene regions by gene expression analysis, mutation analysis and polymorphism studies. ;
