“…Therefore, some genes associated with the occurrence of hypodontia also present genetic variants as genetic risk factors for NSOC (Seo et al, 2013). Candidate genes include: MSX1 , PAX9 , SATB2 , CDH1 , IRF6 , TBX22 , TGF , TGFα , TGFβ3 BMP2 , BMP4 , and WNT (Gong et al, 2015; Kaiser et al, 2015; Kantaputra et al, 2011; Letra et al, 2009, 2012; Lu et al, 2016, 2017; Neves et al, 2019; Seo et al, 2013; Slayton et al, 2003; Song et al, 2014; Williams & Letra, 2018). Considering this context, these genetic variants could potentially not only participate in the predisposition to hypodontia but also contribute to the risk of occurrence of OC, and vice versa .…”
