Abstract excerpt
The present study aimed to evaluate if functional genetic polymorphisms in vitamin-D-related genes are associated with third molar agenesis and third molar microdontia in German orthodontic patients. Pre-orthodontic and follow-up treatment records were evaluated for phenotype definition. Saliva samples were collected for DNA extraction. Eight potential functional genetic polymorphisms in VDR [rs731236 (TaqI),...
