Periodontal disease (PD) in individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) has an early, quickly and widespread onset and high prevalence when compared with individuals without the Syndrome. Only poor oral hygiene does not explain the severe periodontal destruction seen in DS patients. It has been shown that DS patients have a weaker immune response than people with normal number of chromosomes. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in periodontal clinical parameters and the expression levels of the genes Interferon-gamma (IFNG), Interferongamma receptor 1 (IFNGR1), Interferon-gamma receptor 2 (IFNGR2), interferon-alpha (IFNA), interferon-alpha receptor 1 (IFNAR1), Interferonalpha receptor 2 (IFNAR2), Janus-kinase 1 (JAK1), Signal transducers and activators of transcription 1 (STAT1) and Interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) in DS patients with and without periodontal disease in comparison with chromossomically normal individuals. A total of 80 individuals aged 7 to 57 years participated in this study and were divided into 4 groups: DS with PD (A); DS without PD (B); individuals without DS (control) with PD (C) and individuals without DS (control) and without PD (D). A quantitative RT-qPCR was used to investigate gene expression. There was no difference between groups A and C regarding the bleeding on probing
