Association between Downstream Taste Signaling Genes, Oral Microbiome, and Severe Early Childhood Caries

Polymorphisms in taste receptor genes have been shown to play a role in early childhood caries (ECC), a multifactorial, biofilm-mediated disease. This study aimed to evaluate associations between severe-ECC (S-ECC), the oral microbiome, and variants in genes that encode components of the G protein-c...
