Abstract excerpt
AIM: We analyzed the VDR TaqI (rs731236) gene polymorphism in children with and those without dental caries. METHODS: A total of 388 subjects, 153 caries-free (with decayed/missing/filled teeth [DMFT] = 0) and 235 children with dental caries (DMFT ≥1), were genotyped by the TaqMan method. RESULTS: Although no significant differences in VDR TaqI allele and genotype frequencies between caries-free and...
