Abstract

Aim: To determine whether genetic variants of the TLR4 gene are associated with either chronic or aggressive periodontitis. Methods: A systematic electronic search of literature was conducted to identify all published studies without any language restriction on the association between TLR4 and periodontal diseases, including chronic periodontitis and aggressive periodontitis. All case-control studies evaluating the TLR4 Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile polymorphisms in chronic or aggressive periodontitis were identified. A meta-analysis of the studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria was performed. Results: Seven studies comprising 744 chronic periodontitis cases and 855 controls and four studies consisting of a total of 295 aggressive periodontitis cases and 456 controls were included in the meta-analysis. In the pooled analysis, the TLR4 299Gly allele (TLR4+896 A>G) appeared to be a genetic risk factor for susceptibility to chronic periodontitis with a random effects and fixed effects odds ratio (OR) of 1.43 [95% confidence interval (CI):1.04-1.97; p=0.03]. On the other hand, the TLR4 399Ile polymorphism (TLR4+1196 C>T) showed a protective effect against aggressive periodontitis with a random effects OR of 0.29 (95% CI: 0.13-0.61; p=0.001). Conclusion: Our results suggest that the alleles 299Gly and 399Ile in TLR4 can be a potential genetic marker for periodontal disease. © 2009 John Wiley & Sons A/S.
