Role of <scp>ACTN3</scp> Gene <i>rs1815739</i> Polymorphism and Its Effects on Mandibular Morphogenesis
ACTN3 577XX polymorphism is more common among individuals with skeletal Class II malocclusion and short ramal height in the Dravidian population. It results in decreased protein expression in the masseteric muscle, which contributes to variations in sagittal and vertical facial dimensions.
