| Research Abstract |
Two loci (1q32.2 and 1p22.3) were likely to be as novel susceptibility regions of mandibular prognathism.PLXNA2 and SSX2IP genes were considered as a genetic candidate.PLXNA2 gene is a gene encoding semaphorin co-receptors, and the relations to bone metabolism are reported in semaphorin 3A.SSX2IP gene is related to a Synovium Sarcoma and the temporomandibular joint that is related to mandibular growth has synovial tissue. We speculate that these genes may be also associated with mandibular prognathism.
