Study Reveals Genetic Link Between Class II Malocclusions and PAX9 Gene Polymorphism

Posted: December 20, 2024
A study at Subharti Dental College and Hospital in India investigated the genetic association between Class II division 1 and division 2 malocclusions using the PAX9 (rs8004560) gene SNP. Results showed a significant difference in allele distribution between the two malocclusions, with GG allele most prevalent in div. 1 and AG in div. 2 patients. The AG genotype appeared more linked to skeletal Class II div. 2 malocclusion. This study highlights the potential influence of genetic factors on different types of malocclusions, aiding in personalized treatment approaches in orthodontics.
