Cross-sectional study evaluated depression prevalence and related clinical and genetic factors in malocclusion patients, highlighting the role of specific polymorphisms.
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the depression prevalence in patients requiring orthognathic surgery and clinical, and genetic factors associated with depression. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in 143 Class II and III skeletal malocclusion patients requiring orthognathic surgery. Depression, chronic pain, somatization, and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) were assessed using the RDC/TMD. DNA was obtained from buccal cells and polymorphisms in the Dopamine Receptor D2 -DRD2- (rs6275 and rs6276) and Ankyrin Repeat and Kinase Domain Containing 1 -ANKK1- (rs1800497)...
