Aim. Aware that Down Syndrome patients present among their clinical characteristics impaired immunity, the aim of this study is to identify the statistically significant differences in inflammation-related gene expression by comparing Down Syndrome patients with Periodontal Disease (DS+PD+) with Down Syndrome patients without Periodontal Disease (DS+PD-), and their relationship with periodontitis as a chronic oral inflammatory clinical feature. Materials and Methods. Case study and controls on eleven Down Syndrome patients (DS+PD+ vs. DS+PD-). RNA was extracted from peripheral blood using a Qiagen PAXgene Blood miRNA Kit when performing an oral examination. A search for candidate genes (92 selected) was undertaken on the total genes obtained using a Scientific GeneChip® Scanner 3000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Clariom S solutions for human, mouse, and rat chips, with more than 20,000 genes annotated for measuring expression levels. Results. Of the 92 inflammation-related genes taken initially, four genes showed a differential expression across both groups with a p value of <0.05 from the data obtained using RNA processing of the patient sample. Said genes were TNFSF13B (p=0.0448), ITGB2 (p=0.0033), ANXA3 (p=0.0479), and ANXA5 (p=0.016). Conclusions. There are differences in inflammation-related gene expression in Down Syndrome patients when comparing patients who present a state of chronic oral inflammation with patients with negative rates of periodontal disease.

Materials and methods: Prospective study of reproductive age group of female patients in the range of 30-39 years were included in the study who had conceived for the first time -elderly primigravida were obtained from Navodaya hospitals during the period of 2017 to 2019 in Karnataka who had bad obstetric history with high risk of complications of hypertension, fibroids, malpresentation, malposition, prolonged labour, premature labour and perinatal mortality. Few of the elderly primigravida had past history of anaemia, diabetes and heart diseases. Children born to them who were suspected to be suffering from Down syndrome were evaluated genetically. Children suffering from Down syndrome who had bad oral hygiene comprising periodontal disease, dental caries, facial and dental anomalies and other clinical presentations like compromised immune system, hypotonia, seizures were included in the study of age ranging from 01-10 years. Total data obtained for a period of 3years were 108 children of which 62 were boys and remaining girls 46. Periodontal disease was the most common oral health problem in children with Down syndrome born to elderly primigravida with bad obstetric history followed by dental caries. Results: In the genetic evaluation the children who were suffering from Down syndrome found out to be was standard trisomy (83.6%), comparing to translocation1 and mosaicism. Majority of the children presented with periodontal disease were 33 (30.6%), of which 23 boys and remaining girls. Dental caries17 (15.7%), boys presented were 10 and the remaining cases were girls (07). Conclusion: Majority of the Down syndrome children presented with periodontal disease and caries teeth apart from other clinical presentations. Keywords: Elderly primigravida, Down syndrome, bad oral hygiene.

Peri-implant bone loss leading to dental implant failure does not develop in the same way across subjects who apparently present the same condition—specifically, in the case of Down syndrome patients with the same genetic disorder—given that they do not necessarily develop immune–inflammatory disorders to the same extent. Methods: This retrospective case-control study was aimed at identifying the possible genes involved in implant failure in Down syndrome patients by matching the periodontal disease variable by means of a retrospective case-control study. This process involved using the functional analysis of gene expression software Transcriptome Analysis Console (TAC, Affymetrix, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and a search for the possible candidate genes involved. Focus was placed on the 92 genes related to the inflammation identified from the TaqMan™ Array Plate Human Inflammation Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Results: Six genes showed statistically significant results (p < 0.05) in our comparison. Three of them—PLCG2 (p = 0.0333), ALOX5 (p = 0.03) and LTAH4 (p = 0.0081)—were overexpressed in the implant reject group, and the following three were down-regulated: VCAM1 (p = 0.0182), PLA2G2A (p = 0.0034) and PLA2G10 (p = 0.047). Conclusion: Statistically significant differences exist in the gene expression involved in osteoclastogenesis, inflammatory response and host defensive response.
