Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of interleukin-6 gene methylation in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis. The results indicated that the gene contained 19 methylation motifs, and hypomethylated status of a single motif was associated with two diseases. Additionally, methylation level was decreased in the gingival than those in blood, suggesting an increased level of IL-6 gene activity and inflammatory condition.
