“…In dental studies, GWAS have been employed to identify genetic factors associated with various oral health conditions and traits [12] . These conditions include periodontal disease [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , dental caries [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , dental abnormalities [25] , [28] , [29] , [30] , and craniofacial abnormalities [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] , [35] , [36] . By analyzing a large cohort of individuals, GWAS can identify common genetic variants, including SNPs that are significantly associated with the risk or susceptibility to the dental diseases.…”
