Abstract

Summary of the research findings

Objective: A genetic component in early childhood caries (ECC) is theorized, but no genome-wide investigations of ECC have been conducted. This pilot study is part of a long-term research program aimed to: (1) determine the proportion of ECC variance attributable to the human genome and (2) identify ECC-associated genetic loci.

26 African American cases, 34 Hispanic cases, 13 European ancestry cases, 6 Native-American ancestry cases, 1 case, 41 African American controls, 40 Hispanic controls, 36 European ancestry controls, 15 Native-American ancestry controls.
