Statement Of The Problem: Genetic polymorphisms can alter immunity response against pathogens, which in turn influence individuals' susceptibility to certain infections.
Purpose: Our aim was to determine the association of Arg753Gln (rs5743708) and Arg677Trp (rs12191786) polymorphisms of toll like receptor-2 gene with the two clinical forms of apical periodontitis: acute apical abscess (AAA) and asymptomatic apical periodontitis (AAP).
Materials And Method: There were 50 patients with AAA as case group and 50 with AAP as control group. Genotyping was done using Tetra-ARMS (amplification refractory mutation system) PCR.
Results: Heterozygous genotype of Arg677Trp polymorphism was associated with risk of AAA (OR=1.9, 95% CI: 0.7-5.5, = 0.05). Although statistically insignificant, Arg677Trp polymorphism promoted the risk of AAA in dominant model (OR=2.1, 95% CI: 0.7-5.9, > 0.05). The frequency of mutant allele (T) of Arg677Trp polymorphism was higher in AAA (14%) than AAP (7%) subjects (OR=1.7, 95% CI: 0.6-4.7). For Arg753Gln polymorphism, wild homozygous (GG) represented the dominant genotype in both cases (96%) and controls (100%). Variant allele (A) of Arg753Gln polymorphism was identified in 2% of AAA, while no individual represented with this allele in AAP subjects. Individuals with Arg753Gln; Arg677Trp (GG; TC) combination showed an elevated risk of AAA (OR=1.6, 95% CI: 0.5- 4.2, > 0.05).
Conclusion: Arg677Trp polymorphism of TLR-2 rendered a higher risk for the development of abscesses in apical periodontitis. It is recommended to explore role of this polymorphism in other populations.

Recently Toll-like receptor-2 has been shown to sense the envelope protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and initiate the production of inflammatory molecules. The expression and function of the TLR2 has been associated with several functional polymorphisms such as a 23 bp ins/del (rs111200466), Arg677Trp (rs121917864), and Arg753Gln (rs5743708). In the present study, we hypothesized that the TLR2 common functional variants would be associated with the worldwide incidence and mortality rate of SARS-CoV-2.

Article Synopsis
- TLR2 is a key player in the body's inflammatory response to bacterial infections, and previous studies on its Arg677Trp genetic variant's link to tuberculosis (TB) have produced mixed results.
- This study aimed to clarify the relationship between the TLR2 Arg677Trp polymorphism and susceptibility to TB through a meta-analysis of existing data.
- The findings showed no significant association between the TLR2 Arg677Trp variant and TB risk, indicating that this genetic polymorphism does not influence susceptibility to the disease.

Objective: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune disorder caused by the interaction between genes and environmental triggers. HT is the most common endocrine disorder, as well as the most common cause of hypothyroidism. Autoimmunity plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of HT and recent studies suggest that Toll-like receptor (TLR) signals lead to increased inflammatory response.
