“…5,7,11 On the other hand, Patir et al observed an overrepresentation of the minor T allele in rs34538475 in caries experienced individuals in comparison to controls, regardless of the stage of the disease. 4 In our study, however, we observed an opposite association, as both the minor T allele (p < 0.0001) and the minor TT homozygote (p < 0.0001) were overrepresented in controls in comparison to cases with caries, which supported the T allele as a protective variant. There were no differences in allele and genotype frequency between caries experienced and caries-free children in rs4694075 for AMBN gene in our study.…”
