About
Hello! My name is Alfred Kwaku Debrah and my Polygence project is on the genetic and environmental factors influencing malocclusion class 2. I choose to work on this project because I have noticed many of my family members suffer from malocclusion class 2 and I believe there is a higher genetic component than the environmental factors we perceive. After my project is complete, I would like to continue to explore my interest in the field of orthodontics and possibly get my project published.Projects
