The Association of ACTN3 Rs1815739 Polymorphism with Various Malocclusion Phenotype

Objective:A functional polymorphism on the 16th exon of the alpha-actinin-3 gene has an effect on the protein structure and cellular signaling and therefore on muscle contraction. In this study, we aimed to analyze the alpha-actinin-3 rs1815739 polymorphism in 3-dimensional malocclusions and differe...

description Objective:A functional polymorphism on the 16th exon of the alpha-actinin-3 gene has an effect on the protein structure and cellular signaling and therefore on muscle contraction. In this study, we aimed to analyze the alpha-actinin-3 rs1815739 polymorphism in 3-dimensional malocclusions and different craniofacial skeletal patterns.Methods: Forty-nine volunteering subjects enrolled for the study. Genotyping of alpha-actinin-3 rs1815739 polymorphism was performed using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Pre-orthodontic cephalometric radiographs were traced using NemoTech cephalometric tracing software. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows was utilized to carry out statistical analysis. P < .05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results: The respective numbers and the percentages of alpha-actinin-3 rs1815739 polymorphisms for RR, RX, and XX genotypes were 39 (79.6%), 4 (8.2%), and 6 (12.2%), respectively. Twenty-one patients had low angle vertical patterns and 17 patients had Class I and the same number of the patients had Class III facial patterns. But none of these had statistically significant difference in terms of alpha-actinin-3 rs1815739 polymorphism and in vertical or sagittal facial patterns, and mandibular incisor inclination. When we examined the maxillary anteroposterior position, we found a significant difference between rs1815739 polymorphisms (P < .05). Also, we detected a significant difference between rs1815739 polymorphism and maxillary incisor inclination (P < .05).Conclusion: Maxillary incisor inclination and maxillary anteroposterior position are associated with alpha-actinin-3 rs1815739 polymorphism in a Turkish cohort.
