Association of Polymorphism rs67920064 in ADAMTS9 Gene with Mandibular Retrognathism in a Chinese Population.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND Mandibular retrognathism is a common oral and maxillofacial deformity that may cause a series of physical and psychological diseases. Many studies indicated that genetic factors play an important role in the occurrence of mandibular retrognathism. In this study, we assess the association between polymorphism rs67920064 in ADAMTS9 gene and mandibular retrognathism in a Chinese population. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty participants (20 to 45 y, mean age 32.79 y) were classified into Class I or mandibular retrognathism skeletal-facial profile groups in accordance with cephalometric parameters. Thirty patients with mandibular retrognathism were assigned to the subject group; the others were assigned to the control group. Cephalometric parameters including sella-nasion A point, SN point
