| Research Abstract |
The objective of this study was to screen for single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) in genes coding KCNJ12 and STIM1, in patients with severs caries and in low caries susceptibility individuals. We investigated whether SNPs in both KCNJ12 and STIM1 genes are associated with the caries susceptibility. Cases were 103 children ages 5-6 yrs. Statistical analysis based on Chi-square test revealed a significant association of the rs4985866 SNP of KCNJ12 with susceptibility to caries in low-S. mutans group. Within the limitations of this study, rs3813880 SNP and rs3750996 SNP of STIM1 seem to be negatively associated, while rs4985866 SNP of KCNJ12 is associated with caries susceptibility.
