Association between FGFR1OP2/wit3.0 polymorphisms and residual ridge resorption of mandible in Korean population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A previous study on the genetic association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in FGFR1OP2/wit3.0 and the long term atrophy of edentulous mandible hypothesized that the excessive jawbone atrophy after dental extraction may be associated with abnormal oral mucosa contraction induced by the FGFR1OP2/wit 3.0 gene. It was reported that the minor allele of rs840869 or rs859024 in FGFR1OP2/wit3.0 was associated with the excessive atrophy of edentulous mandible. The present study represents an attempt to replicate the results of this previous study and to examine the genetic association between polymorphisms in FGFR1OP2 and residual ridge resorption of mandible in a Korean population.

Methodology/principal findings

134 subjects (70.46 ± 9.02 years) with partially or completely edentulous mandible were recruited. The mandibular bone height was measured following the protocol of the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP). From 24 subjects, seven variants in FGFR1OP2 were discovered and four of them were novel. Selected SNPs that are not in high LD at r2 threshold of 0.8 were genotyped for the remaining population. There was no frequency of the minor allele of SNP rs859024 in Korean population. SNP rs840869 was not associated with residual ridge resorption (p = 0.479). The bone height of the subject with the ss518063493 minor allele (8.52 mm) was shorter than that of those subjects with major alleles (18.96 ± 5.33 mm, p = 0.053).

Conclusions/significance

The patient with minor allele of ss518063493 may be associated with excessive atrophy of edentulous mandible whereas the patients with that of rs840869 are not associated in Korean population. The result from this study may assist in developing a novel genetic diagnostic test and be useful in identifying Koreans susceptible to developing excessive jawbone atrophy after dental extraction.

Project description:Tooth extraction is a routine surgical procedure in dental treatment. As a wound healing process after tooth extraction, a saddle-shaped residual ridge forms due to bone formation in the extraction socket and localized bone resorption on the external surface of the jawbone. The residual ridge is subjected to continuous bone resorption with substantial differences among individuals. In some cases, it results in excessive bone atrophy, which complicates dental restorative treatment. This unique oral wound healing process may be influenced by factors that are specific to oral tissue. HIF expression is different in oral wound healing compared to that of skin wounds. The objective of this study was to examine a genetic association between SNP of the HIF-1α gene, which is known to have high genetic diversity, and the residual ridge resorption (RRR). Two hundred and two Korean subjects (70.80 ± 9.40 years) with partially or completely edentulous mandible were recruited, and edentulous mandibular bone height was measured following the protocol of the American College of Prosthodontists. The HIF-1α allele was directly sequenced in 24 subjects resulting in the variants over 5% frequency in 95% likelihood, whereas tag-SNPs were selected to perform analysis for the remaining population. Student's t-test and ANOVA were used for statistical analysis to examine the association between the SNPs and the RRR. Four novel variants were discovered, and a minor allele of rs11549467 was associated with the RRR of the subjects (p = 0.028). rs11549467 increases HIF-1α transactivity, enhancing angiogenesis and increasing new vessel formation. Thus, rs11549467 may play an important role in the disturbed bone remodeling balance resulting in RRR. Results of this study may be useful in developing novel genetic diagnostic tests and identifying Koreans susceptible to developing excessive jawbone atrophy after dental extraction. Most importantly, early screening using genetic information will rescue susceptible patients from the vulnerable situation of excessive jawbone atrophy where no effective prosthetic treatment is available.
