Metagenome-genome-wide association studies reveal human genetic impact on the oral microbiome
2021-05-07
Abstract excerpt
The oral microbiota contains billions of microbial cells, which could contribute to diseases in a number of body sites. Challenged by eating, drinking and dental hygiene on a daily basis, the oral microbiota is regarded as highly dynamic. Here, we report significant human genomic associations with the oral metagenome from more than 1,915 individuals, for both the tongue dorsum and saliva. We identified five geneti...
