Abstract excerpt
Studies on the heredity of dental characteristics in humans have indicated that the variance in many dental traits results from genetic variation. However, the genetic factors that influence commonly occurring dental variants are poorly understood. Paired domain box 9 (PAX9) codes a transcription factor that is important in tooth development. We investigated whether PAX9 polymorphisms are associated with normal...
