It has been suggested that the localized aggressive periodontitis phenotype is linked to the region 1q25. The aim of this study was to fine map the chromosome interval suggested as containing a localized aggressive periodontitis locus in clinically well characterized group of families segregating aggressive periodontitis. The hypothesis of this study is that genetic variation located between 1q24.2 to 1q31.3 contributes to the phenotype of aggressive periodontitis. As specific aims, we evaluated the inheritance mode of aggressive periodontitis performing segregation analysis and, we tested the presence of linkage and or association between the target region of chromosome 1 and aggressive periodontitis. Segregation analysis was performed in pedigree data from the first 74 families, comprised of 475 individuals (average of 6.4 individuals per family) with similar geographic origin by the use of the SEGREG program of SAGE v.5.4.2. Mendelian inheritance was assumed to be through an autosomal locus with two alleles A and B, where the A allele was associated with the relevant phenotype. Five inheritance modes (homogeneous no transmission, homogeneous Mendelian transmission, homogeneous general transmission, semi-general transmission, heterogeneous general transmission) were tested assuming the prevalence of aggressive periodontitis as 1% and no deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Saliva samples were collected from 54 families, 371 individuals and DNA was extracted from this biological material. Twenty-one single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected and analyzed by standard polymerase chain reaction. The genotypes were obtained by the TaqMan method. The non-parametric analysis of familial linkage was performed with Merlin software. Analyses of transmission detection (association) were performed by FBAT and PLINK programs. The most parsimonious mode of inheritance in each susceptibility type tested was the semi-general transmission mode (p=0,31). This mode suggests an excess of risk alleles being transmitted from heterozygous parents. This result provides strong support for the hypothesis that genetic factors play a role in aggressive periodontitis and that a few loci, each with relatively small effects, contribute to aggressive periodontitis, with or without interaction with environmental factors. We found a statistically significant association between the SNPs rs1935881 (G>A) and rs1342913 (A>G) in the FAM5C gene and aggressive periodontitis (p=0.03). Sequence analysis of FAM5C coding regions did not disclose any mutations, but two variants in intronic regions of FAM5C gene: rs57694932 (A>G) and rs10494634 (A>T) were found. The two variants are not associated with aggressive periodontitis in this population. A stronger association could has seen between aggressive periodontitis and the haplotypes rs1935881-rs1342913 (p=0.009). This study supports the hypothesis that FAM5C gene might contribute to aggressive periodontitis and then, could be suggested as a candidate gene.
