It is, however, necessary to keep in mind that although we found no associations between SNPs ALOX15 (rs2619112, rs7217186), AMELX (rs946252), AMBN (rs34538475), TFIP11 (rs134136, rs5997096), and TUFT1 (rs2337359, rs2337360, rs3790506, rs4970957) and dental caries in our study population, we cannot exclude the existence of such associations in other populations. The gene discussed is ALOX15; the disease is dental caries.
