Article Abstract
Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease linked to host immune response and genetic predisposition. The TLR4 Asp299Gly single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, rs4986790) has been associated with altered responses to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and may influence susceptibility to inflammatory diseases. Given the central role of TLR4 in innate immune recognition of periodontal pathogens, this study investigates the role of rs4986790 in modulating susceptibility to periodontal inflammatory destruction. A total of 1410 individuals from four populations were genotyped, with findings indicating a significant protective effect of the polymorphic allele. Functional assays demonstrated enhanced IL-8 secretion and increased sensitivity to CD14 inhibition in cells expressing the variant receptor. These results suggest that rs4986790 modifies the LPS response via TLR4, potentially offering protection against periodontal breakdown.

Introduction And Aim: The risk of asthma and its phenotypes may be modified by gene-environmental interactions. The previous studies on the interactions between genetic variations in the toll like 4 (TLR4) the main receptor for bacterial endotoxin, and asthma were contradictory as they were underpowered and did not consider different asthma phenotypes. The main aim of this study was to identify interactions between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the gene, Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile, and residential area (urban or rural) in females and males with asthma and different asthma phenotypes.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the primary cause of intra-uterine infections (human health) affecting 40-100% of pregnant women globally, with lower rates observed in high-income countries and higher rates in low- and middle-income regions, and it is vertically transmitted to fetus. Mutation in the TLR4 gene is known for enhanced predisposition to several viral, bacterial, and parasitic diseases. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between TLR4 Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile gene polymorphisms and vulnerability to HCMV infection in pregnant women.

Several indirect findings suggest that host-related factors influence susceptibility to infection. We decided to explore the influence of genetic factors related to both innate and adaptive immunity in acute Q fever susceptibility. TLR2 (Arg753Gln) and TLR4 (Asp299Gly, Thr399Ile) polymorphisms, along with HLA-DRB1 alleles, were analyzed for 38 patients with acute Q fever, 38 matched controls, and 121 blood donors.
