چکیده
Consideration of genetic factors is an essential element of diagnosis that underlies orofacial traits. In particular, orthodontic clinicians may have an interest in craniofacial growth and tooth movement. These parts of the diagnostic process are important to understand the cause of the problem before attempting treatment. In this chapter, we present our studies on the genetic causes of external apical root resorption and mandibular morphology, and review related studies.

متن کاملThe molecular genetics of neurofibromatosis type 1 and its future prospective
Abstract Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant tumor predisposition syndrome that is caused through loss of function mutations of a tumor suppressor gene termed neurofibromin 1. Therapeutic decisions are presently restricted for NF1-associated tumors, where treatment is often restricted to thorough surgical resection with perfect margins. In this review article, the multif...
متن کاملON THE FUZZY SET THEORY AND AGGREGATION FUNCTIONS: HISTORY AND SOME RECENT ADVANCES
Several fuzzy connectives, including those proposed by Lotfi Zadeh, can be seen as linear extensions of the Boolean connectives from the scale ${0,1}$ into the scale $[0,1]$. We discuss these extensions, in particular, we focus on the dualities arising from the Boolean dualities. These dualities allow to transfer the results from some particular class of extended Boolean functions, e.g., from c...
