In this study, the genetic relationship of 19 Porphyromonas gingivalis isolates from patients with periodontitis was investigated by multilocus sequence analysis. Internal 400-600 bp DNA fragments of the 10 chromosomal genes ef-tu, ftsQ, hagB, gpdxJ, pepO, mcmA, dnaK, recA, pga and nah were amplified by PCR and sequenced. No two isolates were identical at all 10 loci. Phylogenetic analyses indicated a panmictic population structure of P. gingivalis. Split decomposition analysis, calculation of homoplasy ratios and analyses of clustered polymorphisms all indicate that recombination plays a major role in creating the genetic heterogeneity of P. gingivalis. A standardized index of association of 0.0898 indicates that the P. gingivalis genes analysed are close to linkage equilibrium.

D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D018740 Genetic Heterogeneity The presence of apparently similar characters for which the genetic evidence indicates that different genes or different genetic mechanisms are involved in different pedigrees. In clinical settings genetic heterogeneity refers to the presence of a variety of genetic defects which cause the same disease, often due to mutations at different loci on the same gene, a finding common to many human diseases including ALZHEIMER DISEASE; CYSTIC FIBROSIS; LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE DEFICIENCY, FAMILIAL; and POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASES.
