Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) gene polymorphism (1G/2G at -1607 and A/G at -519) in Korean subject and to assess the association between polymorphism and periodontal status. Methods: Forty nine generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAP) patients and 57 periodontally healthy children were recruited and genomic DNA was extracted from buccal swab. The polymorphisms of MMP-1 promoter genes were determined by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length product (PCR-RFLP) method. The distribution of genotype and allele frequency was compared between 2 groups by ${\chi}^2$ test. Results: There was a significant difference in the distribution of genotypes and frequency of alleles between the GAP and reference groups at the position - 519 of MMP-1 gene promoter (P<0.05). Allele G carrier rate was significantly lower in GAP group than that of the reference group (P< 0.001). At the position -1607 of MMP-1 gene promoter, genotype distribution and allele frequency showed no statistically significant difference between the groups. However, in the female group, a significant difference was observed between the groups for the genotype distribution, allele frequency and allele 1G carrier rate (P< 0.05). Conclusions: The DNA polymorphism at the MMP-1 gene promoter might be associated with GAP in Korean.

치주질환은 치아주위 조직에 발현된 염증성 질환이다. 전염증성 사이토카인인 $TNF-{\alpha}$는 국소적인 염증이나 전반적인 염증과 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 한국인에서 TNF 유전자 다형성과 전반적 급진성 치주염 간의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 실험군이 60명, 대조군이 81명 이었다. 협측에서 DNA를 채취하여 각 제한효소를 이용한 PCR-RFLP에 의해 $TNF-{\alpha}-308$과 -238을 측정하였다. 급진성 치주염 환자에서 $TNF-{\alpha}-308$ 유전자형은 A/A 3.2%, A/G 38.7% 그리고 G/G 82.35%가 나타났으며 대조군에서는 각 9.1%, 45.5%, 45.5%로 유의한 차이를 보이는 결과이다. $TNF-{\alpha}-238$의 대립유전자 2의 빈도는 실험군에서 67.6%, 대조군에서 72.2%로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 이러한 결과에 따르면 $TNF-{\alpha}-308$과 -238의 유전자다변성은 한국인의 급진성치주염과 연관이 있을 것으로 생각된다.
