Abstract
The immunoglobulin receptor Fc gamma RIIIa (CD16) is distributed on natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages, and gamma delta T cells, and is polymorphic. Fc gamma RIIIa-158V has a higher affinity for both monomeric and immune complexed IgG1, IgG3, and IgG4 than IIIa-158F. We determined Fc gamma RIIIa-158V/F genotypes of Japanese patients with adult periodontitis. A significant over-representation of Fc gamma RIIIa-158F was found in patients with recurrence, compared with patients without recurrence, making Fc gamma RIIIA a candidate gene for recurrence risk of adult periodontitis.
