Interaction between TCF7L2 rs7903146 Genotype, HbA1c Levels, and the Periodontal Status of Dental Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of the study was to investigate the potential interaction between TCF7L2 rs7903146 genotype, which is implicated for type-2 diabetes mellitus genetic susceptibility, HbA1c levels, and the periodontal status of dental patients.

Materials and methods

HbA1c levels, clinical periodontal parameters (probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing, and plaque index), and several parameters (such as body mass index [BMI], smoking habits, education level, and age) were recorded in 150 patients who fulfilled the criteria for screening for prediabetes/diabetes of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. DNA was extracted and the TCF7L2 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs7903146 was genotyped in all participants.

Results

Thirty-one patients out of 150 tested were found with unknown hyperglycemia (20.7%). Regarding sex, education, parent with diabetes, normal BMI, smoking, age ≥45 years and prior testing for diabetes, no differences were observed between patients displaying HbA1c < 5.7 and ≥ 5.7% (Pearson's Chi-square test, p > 0.05). Regarding periodontal parameters and differences between subgroups (HbA1c levels ≥ 5.7 and HbA1c levels < 5.7), statistically significant differences were observed for probing depth (3.20 ± 0.94 vs. 2.81 ± 0.78 mm), clinical attachment level (3.54 ± 1.20 vs. 3.18 ± 1.06 mm) and bleeding on probing (0.62 ± 0.25 vs. 0.50 ± 0.24%) with hyperglycemic patients exhibiting worse periodontal conditions (Mann-Whitney test p < 0.05). The allelic and genotype frequencies for the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene, SNPs 7903146 did not exhibit a significant difference between the HbA1c > 5.7 and HbA1c < 5.7 groups and the periodontitis and nonperiodontitis subgroups respectively (Fisher's exact test >0.05). Statistical Analysis Patient characteristics and their association with prediabetes were tested by Pearson's Chi-square test (asymptotic, two sided). Differences of periodontal parameters between subgroups were tested with the Mann-Whitney U-test. The associations of allele and genotype frequencies in the patient and control groups were analyzed using the Fisher's exact test of independence.The significance level was set at the 0.05 for all tests.

Conclusion

A statistically significant association between TCF7L2 rs7903146 genotype and periodontal condition or HbA1c levels was not observed in contrast to statistically significant differences of clinical parameters of periodontitis in patients with hyperglycemia.

Project description:BackgroundTCF7L2 polymorphisms have been consistently associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus in different populations and type 2 diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, especially coronary artery disease. This study aimed to evaluate the association between TCF7L2 polymorphism rs7903146 and coronary artery disease in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects.Methods and resultstwo populations were studied in order to assess severity of coronary artery disease and cardiovascular events incidence. Eight-hundred and eighty nine subjects who were referred for cardiac catheterization for coronary artery disease diagnosis were cross-sectionally evaluated for coronary lesions (atherosclerotic burden) and 559 subjects from the MASS-II Trial were prospectively followed-up for 5 years and assessed for major cardiovascular events incidence. As expected, rs7903146 T allele was associated with diabetes. Although diabetic patients had a higher prevalence of coronary lesions, no association between TCF7L2 genotype and coronary lesions was found in this subgroup. However, non-diabetic individuals carrying the T allele were associated with a significantly higher frequency of coronary lesions than non-diabetic non-carriers of the risk allele (adjusted OR = 2.32 95%CI 1.27-4.24, p = 0.006). Moreover, presence of multi-vessel coronary artery disease was also associated with the CT or TT genotypes in non-diabetics. Similarly, from the prospective sample analysis, non-diabetics carrying the CT/TT genotypes had significantly more composite cardiovascular end-points events than CC carriers (p = 0.049), mainly due to an increased incidence of death (p = 0.004).Conclusionsrs7903146 T allele is associated with diabetes and, in non-diabetic individuals, with a higher prevalence and severity of coronary artery disease and cardiovascular events. name of registry site (see list below), registration number, trial registration URL in brackets.Clinical trial registration informationMEDICINE, ANGIOPLASTY, OR SURGERY STUDY (MASS II): Unique identifier: ISRCTN66068876.

Project description:Limited evidence describing how host genetic variants affect the composition of the microbiota is currently available. The aim of this study was to assess the associations between a set of candidate host genetic variants and microbial composition in both saliva and gut in the TwinsUK registry. A total of 1,746 participants were included in this study and provided stool samples. A subset of 1,018 participants also provided self-reported periodontal data, and 396 of those participants provided a saliva sample. Host DNA was extracted from whole-blood samples and processed for Infinium Global screening array, focusing on 37 selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously associated with periodontitis. The gut and salivary microbiota of participants were profiled using 16S ribosomal RNA amplicon sequencing. Associations between genotype on the selected SNPs and microbial outcomes, including α diversity, β diversity, and amplicon sequence variants (ASVs), were investigated in a multivariate mixed model. Self-reported periodontal status was also compared with microbial outcomes. Downstream analyses in gut microbiota and salivary microbiota were carried out separately. IL10 rs6667202 and VDR 2228570 SNPs were associated with salivary α diversity, and SNPs in IL10, HSA21, UHRF2, and Fc-γR genes were associated with dissimilarity matrix generated from salivary β diversity. The SNP that was associated with the greatest number of salivary ASVs was VDR 2228570 followed by IL10 rs6667202, and that of gut ASVs was NPY rs2521364. There were 77 salivary ASVs and 39 gut ASVs differentially abundant in self-reported periodontal disease versus periodontal health. The dissimilarity between saliva and gut microbiota within individuals appeared significantly greater in self-reported periodontal cases compared to periodontal health. IL10 and VDR gene variants may affect salivary microbiota composition. Periodontal status may drive variations in the salivary microbiota and possibly, to a lesser extent, in the gut microbiota.
