Objective: Dental caries is a multifactorial, infectious disease where genetic predisposition
plays an important role. Insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of angiotensin-converting …

The aim of the study was to examine the frequencies of the genotypes and alleles of ACE
insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and their association with dental caries in a sample of …

Objective Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is the core enzyme in the renin–
angiotensin system (RAS), which catalyzes the production of angiotensin II (Ang II). The aim …

Introduction. The variety of the genetic factors playing role in development of dental caries
calls for further research in this regard. The aim of the present study was to investigate the …

Objectives The enamelin gene (ENAM) polymorphism (rs12640848) was recently
associated with dental caries in primary teeth in Polish children. The aims of the present …

There is evidence for a genetic component in caries susceptibility, and studies in humans
have suggested that variation in enamel formation genes and their interaction with …

Objective Enamelin is the largest enamel matrix protein encoded by the ENAM gene. The
primary purpose of this study was to identify genetic variants in ENAM exon 10 that can alter …

The mistyping of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) has been
well documented, and new methods have been suggested here to improve the genotyping …

One of the most prevalent oral health problems is dental caries. It affects 60% to 90% of
schoolchildren and the vast majority of adults. The purpose of this investigation was to …

Objectives The objective of this study was to prove the association between dental caries
and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ENAM gene. Material and methods The …
