Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) play a crucial role in regulating vitamin D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and calcitonin concentrations, which are involved in bone health. Some reports suggested that fractal analysis is useful in the morphometric analysis of the mandible trabecular bone in panoramic radiographs. Therefore, we investigated if SNPs in genes that influence vitamin D, calcitonin, and PTH levels...
