Objective: Anti-inflammatory cytokines play a crucial role in periodontitis by inhibiting synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of interleukin-10 (-597) gene polymorphism and genotype distributions on chronic periodontitis (CP) development and IL-6 and IL-10 levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment.
Material And Methods: The study population consisted of 55 severe generalized CP patients as CP group and 50 healthy individuals as control group. Plaque index, gingival index, probing depth and clinical attachment level were recorded and GCF and blood samples were taken at both the baseline and the sixth week after non-surgical periodontal treatment. PCR-RFLP procedure was used for gene analyses and cytokine levels were measured via ELISA.
Results: IL-10 genotype distribution was significantly different between CP and control groups (p=0.000, OR:7, 95%CI, 2.83-60.25). Clinical measurements significantly improved in the CP group after periodontal treatment (p<0.05). Periodontal treatment significantly decreased GCF IL-6 and IL-10 levels. No significant difference was found in clinical parameters between IL-10 AA and AC+CC genotypes at both the baseline and the sixth week (p>0.05). Sixth week GCF IL-10 levels were significantly lower in patients carrying IL-10 AC+CC genotype compared to the patients carrying IL-10 AA genotype (p<0.05). Serum IL-6 and IL-10 levels were lower in patients carrying the IL-10 AA genotype compared to patients with IL-10 AC+CC genotype, but the difference was not significant (p>0.05).
Conclusion: IL-10 AA genotype carriers had lower IL-6 and IL-6/10 levels in serum; however, GCF IL-6/10 levels were similar in both genotypes. Within the limitations of our study, a possible association between IL-10(-597) gene polymorphism and CP might be considered.

Eczema and dermatitis are common inflammatory skin conditions with significant morbidity. Identifying drug-targetable genes can facilitate the development of effective treatments. This study analyzed data obtained by meta-analysis of 2 genome-wide association studies on eczema/dermatitis (57,311 cases and 896,779 controls, European ancestry).

Background: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-a key neurotrophin involved in synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis, and neuroprotection-has been shown to mediate sex differences in verbal learning and memory (VLM) ability, but it remains unclear whether this relationship is conditionally dependent upon carriage of the Val66Met polymorphism in the BDNF gene. This study investigates how BDNF carriage influences the mediation of sex differences in VLM scores by plasma BDNF levels in a cohort enriched for AD risk.

Background: A rare reelin gene variant (RELN-COLBOS mutation) delayed dementia onset in almost 30 years in an autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease (ADAD) carrier. This patient presented with high amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque load, but low tau accumulation, suggesting that this single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in RELN conferred a resilience not only to cognitive decline but also to tauopathy in ADAD. However, whether RELN SNPs are also protective in sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) is yet to be determined.

Insomnia in late life is influenced by a wide array of genetic and lifestyle factors, some of which exhibit sex-dependent effects. This study examined whether selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to the neurotrophin, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), or its receptors and lifestyle factors, and their interactions were associated with the increased risk for sleep disturbance in older males and females.

Background: People with cystic fibrosis (CF) may not expectorate sputum at young ages or after they receive CFTR modulators. While oropharyngeal swabs are commonly used to test for lower airway pathogens, it is unknown whether Staphylococcus aureus from the oropharynx matches the strain(s) infecting the lungs. Our goal was to determine whether oropharyngeal and sputum isolates of S.
