Association of MSX1 and TGF-β1 genetic polymorphisms with hypodontia: meta-analysis
“Association of MSX1 and TGF-β1 genetic polymorphisms with hypodontia: meta-analysis”, vol. 13, pp. 10007-10016, 2014.
, We conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of 4 case-control studies to explore the association between polymorphisms of Msh homeobox 1 (MSX1) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) genes and hypodontia. A total of 643 tooth agenesis cases and 733 healthy controls were included in this study. The meta-analysis results showed that the T allele and T carrier (CT + TT) of rs1095 in the MSX1 gene were positively associated with hypodontia susceptibility.
