Intronic Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in FGFR2 Gene Association With Non‐Syndromic Mandibular Retrognathism

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 538-545, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Mandibular retrognathism (MR) is a skeletal malocclusion in which patients have a deficient mandibular length, resulting in a more posterior position of the mandible. We aimed to investigate the association between Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene and MR in germans.
