Can your teeth predict eye disease? scientists investigate hidden genetic links
NCT ID NCT06950619
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find genetic links between certain dental issues (like missing or extra teeth) and eye or skin conditions. Researchers will collect DNA from 5 orthodontic patients with these dental problems and a family history of eye or skin issues. They hope to identify shared genes that could lead to earlier, more accurate diagnoses.
