Abstract excerpt
Genetic variations might play a role in susceptibility to temporomandibular joint internal derangement (TMJ-ID) and osteoarthritis of the joint (TMJOA). Vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms have been shown to be associated with disc degeneration-linked pathologies, particularly osteoarthritis (OA). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether VDR polymorphisms present susceptibility to TMJ-ID/TMJOA. The study...
