Abstract excerpt
Aquaporin 5 (AQP5) is crucial for salivary secretion, composition and enamel mineralization. Genetic variations in AQP5 may influence susceptibility to dental diseases such as caries. This study investigated the association between AQP5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), AQP5 mRNA expression, and caries severity in a dental practice cohort. A total of 246 patients were enrolled. Caries experience was...
