[Relationship between endothelial nitric oxide synthase Glu298Asp gene polymorphisms and the chronic periodontitis with type 2 diabetes mellitus].

OBJECTIVE:To study the relationship between endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) Glu298Asp gene polymorphism and chronic periodontitis (CP) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS:DNA from patients' buccal swabs of CP, CP with T2DM, T2DM and health was isolated and extracted. The eNOS Glu298Asp gene polymorphism were assessed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) respectively. RESULTS:The distribution of eNOS Glu298Asp genotype in CP group, T2DM group, CP with T2DM group and health group showed statistical differences (chi2 = 18.503, P = 0.005), and the gene frequency showed statistical differences (chi2 = 8.243, P = 0.041). Compared health group to CP with T2DM group, OR value of the genetype T was 0.962, 95% confidence interval lay in between 0.737 to 1.256, which showed T maybe a protective factor. While OR value of the genetype G was 1.043, 95% confidence interval lay in between 0.781 to 1.391, which showed G maybe a risk factor. However, neither T nor G was statistically significant. CONCLUSION:Based on these findings, there are some association between eNOS Glu298Asp polymorphism and the risk of CP group, T2DM group, CP with T2DM group.
