Association of LTF, ENAM, and AMELX polymorphisms with dental caries susceptibility: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:This meta-analysis evaluated the association of LTF, ENAM, and AMELX polymorphisms with dental caries susceptibility. METHODS:We searched the Scopus, PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases to retrieve articles published by October 2019. Review Manager 5.3 software was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The results of publication bias tests were retrieved by Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 2.0 software. RESULTS:A total of 150 relevant records were identified; out of which, 16 were entered into the analysis (4 studies assessed LTF, 11 ENAM, and 11 AMELX polymorphisms). Of all polymorphisms, there was a significant association only between ENAM rs3796704 polymorphism and dental caries susceptibility. Both ENAM rs3796704 and AMELX rs17878486 polymorphisms had a significant association with dental caries risk in the Caucasian ethnicity and the studies including caries-free control group. CONCLUSIONS:The results of this meta-analysis showed that the G allele and the GG genotype of ENAM rs3796704 were associated with an increased risk of caries in the case group compared with the control group. But there was no association between LTF rs1126478, ENAM (rs1264848 and rs3796703), and AMELX (rs946252, rs17878486, and rs2106416) polymorphisms and dental caries susceptibility.

Project description:AimDental enamel, the most rigid biological tissue of the tooth known to mankind, is the most integral and fundamental part of the tooth. Enamel matrixes compile 5% of Enamelin peptides and at the time of tooth development, they are considered to effect the formation and elongation of enamel crystallites. ENAM plays critical role in enamel formation. Any changes in ENAM may affect the thickness of enamel and may lead to dental caries. The present study is aimed to evaluate the association of ENAM gene polymorphisms and susceptibility of dental caries development risk.Material and methodsThe present study was carried out on 168 South Indian children, children's with dental caries were included in study. Written consent was taken from their parents/guardians. Additionally 193 healthy individuals were enrolled as controls. Sampling was done after dental examination of the individuals. Three ENAM gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were rs7671281, rs3796704 and rs12640848 was genotyped to check their role in susceptibility of dental caries development risk.ResultsOut of three SNPs rs7671281 showed statistically significant risk association with dental caries susceptibility in this ethnic population at heterozygous allele CT (OR: 1.939, p = .01865) and with minor allele T (OR: 1.451, p = .001292). SNP rs3796704 showed significant protective association with dental caries in Indian population at heterozygous allele GA (OR: 0.409, p = .0192) and with minor allele A (OR: 0.645, p = .00875). SNP rs12640848 showed significant protective association with dental caries in Indian population at heterozygous allele AG (OR: 3.041, p = .00642) and with minor allele G (OR: 1.478, p = .02184). Preliminary insilico analysis also showed that rs7671281 (Ile648Thr) amino acid change will cause the structural and functional changes in ENAM protein.ConclusionsIn the present study significant association was observed between ENAM gene SNP rs7671281 and dental caries susceptibility in South Indian children. These results suggested that ENAM gene variants may contribute to dental caries in children.
