What is the genetic background of periodontal disease?

Susceptibility to a multifactorial disease, like periodontitis, is modulated by ethnic background. It is not real to assume a common genetic background of periodontitis for human species.

In Caucasian non-smokers periodontal patients, association of certain SNPs in interleukin-1a and b genes can predispose to a more severe periodontitis if no therapy is applied.

In Asian subjects, SNPs in Fcg receptors genes can predispose to aggressive and refractory periodontitis. Assays for these SNPs can be used in routine clinical practice with caution.
