Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Non-syndromic supernumerary teeth (NSST) are a common type of dental anomaly. microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in craniofacial and tooth development. Therefore, we hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of miRNAs may be associated with the susceptibility of NSST. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four miRNA SNPs (rs2910164, rs11614913, rs2043556, and rs2682818) were selected, and their...
