摘要

Background

There are no studies investigating the role of COL2A1 genes for mandibular mobility. The aim of this study was investigate the association between mandible mobility with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in gene encoding collagen type II alpha 1 chain (COL2A1).

Methods

Adolescents age from 10 to 14 years old without restrictions in mandibular movement were evaluated. The mandibular mobility was recorded using rule. Genomic DNA was obtained from saliva and the SNPs in COL2A1 gene (rs1793953 and rs2276454) were genotyped by real time polymerase chain reactions. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-test was used to compare the mean values of the mandibular mobility among genotypes in the co-dominant model. A linear regression analysis was also performed.

Results

99 adolescents were included (53 boys and 46 girls). Gender and age were not associated with mandibular movements. For the rs1793953, unassisted opening, assisted opening and contralateral movements were statistically different among genotypes. The rs2276454 was associated with larger protrusive movements, in patients carrying TT genotype presented higher protrusion mean values than CT and TT individuals (p = 0.0046).

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that genes may play an essential role for the normal variation in mandibular movement and SNPs rs1793953 and rs2276454 in COL2A1 may explain mandibular mobility variations.
