Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To detect and analyze the correlation between commonly mutated genes and known genes associated with tooth agenesis in patients with non-syndromic tooth agenesis. The aim is to explore new genes that may be associated with tooth agenesis, to provide a genetic reference for its prevention as well as for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of tooth agenesis. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from the...
