The present study has been performed to develop a PCR technology to identify human immunoglobulin(Ig) allotypes with restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) using a probe. Genomic DNA were ampilified with PCR tecnology using primers from peripheral blood lymphocytes of 10 periodontal patiens, whose Ig allotypes have been pre-determined by serological tecnique using heagglutination technique. The result indicated that the RFLP patterns could successfully differentiate the Ig allotypes, which suggests that this technology can be developed as a tool useful for population genetics studies.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the polymorphism of FcgammaRIIIb genotype, IgG G2m(23) factor and their associations with the susceptibility to aggressive periodontitis.
METHODSDNA of white blood cells and serum from 21 aggressive periodontitis patients and 26 healthy controls was extracted. Genotype of FcgammaRIIIb and phenotype of G2m(23) factor was determined by allele-specific PCR and dot immunobinding assay respectively.
RESULTSThe frequency of FcgammaRIIIb-NA1/NA1 genotype in aggressive periodontitis patients was significantly higher than in healthy controls (P < 0.05). The ratio of subjects with FcgammaRIIIb-NA1/NA1 genotype and positive G2m(23) factor was higher in aggressive periodontitis patients (11/21) than in health controls (5/26) (P < 0.05). However, no statistical difference in distribution of G2m(23) factor alone was observed between patients and controls.
CONCLUSIONSThis study indicates that FcgammaRIIIb-NA1/NA1 genotype may be a susceptible genotype to aggressive periodontitis in Chinese population. Subjects with FcgammaRIIIb NA1/NA1 genotype and positive G2m(23) factor may be more susceptible to aggressive periodontitis.
