Abstract excerpt
Predicting the mandible size before the termination of growth of the maxillofacial bones is essential in pedodontics as well as for the predictions needed for genetic analysis. Here, Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) analysis was used to detect the chromosomal regions responsible for the mandible length between the menton and gonion in an SMXA recombinant inbred strain of mice. Around the region 60 cM from the...
