Candidate genes for skeletal conditions
Started June 1, 2023
Abstract or project description
With a suspected genetic component underlying its etiology, it’s important to be able to understand the specific candidate genes and their functional significance in skeletal malformations. Despite its prevalence and impact on individuals' well-being, the precise genetic mechanisms remain elusive. Regulatory network analysis will unveil potential gene interactions and shared pathways contributing to the condition. Understanding these specific genetic factors could revolutionize craniofacial genetics, precision orthodontics, and personalized treatment strategies, enhancing the quality of life for individuals.
