Genetic variants in taste genes play a role in oral microbial composition and severe early childhood caries
Summary: Severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) is a multifactorial disease with strong evidence of genetic inheritance. Previous studies suggest that variants in taste genes are associated with dental caries due to the role of taste proteins in mediating taste preferences, oral innate immunity, and...
