Malocclusion is a common disarrangement of teeth or jaws that affects populations worldwide, resulting in impaired oral function, increased susceptibility to dental trauma, periodontal disease and reduced dentofacial esthetics (1, 2). Malocclusion often develops as a complex trait condition that is influenced by combinations of transcription and growth factors acting on bone, teeth, and skeletal muscles (3). Craniofacial bone growth and development have been reported to be affected by many signaling pathways, including transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), Hedgehog, and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) pathways (4, 5). Skeletal malocclusion usually has a genetic etiology, with familial aggregation and hereditary tendency (6). Identification of these factors and mechanisms would help diagnosis, prediction, and treatment for skeletal variations (7). Recent Publications 1. Claudino D, Traebert J.
