Key Points

Increased susceptibility to dental caries is linked to specific gene polymorphisms.
The meta-analysis shows notable associations with ltf, enam, and amelx genes.
Analysis compiled data from multiple studies to assess genetic risk factors for dental caries.
Findings suggest genetic factors may play a significant role in individual susceptibility to dental caries.
