Aggressive periodontitis is a rare but rapidly progressing form of periodontal disease that usually affects otherwise systemically healthy individuals, at a young age. It usually affects first molars and incisors, which are usually lost if treatment is not properly and early rendered. Although of low prevalence, it affects individuals of African descent at a higher prevalence, and usually multiple members within the same family. Several studies have been performed in the attempt to evaluate specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that could be associated with this disease. To the best of our knowledge, the present article provides the first review of the literature focusing on studies that evaluated SNPs in patients of African descent with aggressive periodontitis. Several SNPs have been evaluated in different genes according to their role in the pathogenesis of the disease, with positive and negative associations (such as IL1, FCGR3B, FPR1, LTF, CYBA, GLT6D1, TLR4) with both the localized and generalized forms of aggressive periodontitis. Given the complexity of periodontitis, the difficulty in gathering large cohorts diagnosed with this rare form of disease, and the fact that candidate gene studies may only determine part of the genetic risk of a disease, the search for specific SNPs associated with aggressive periodontitis seems to be a long one, most likely to result in the combination of multiple SNPs, in multiple genes.
