WNT10A gene encodes a canonical wingless pathway signaling molecule involved in cell fate specification as well as morphogenetic patterning of the developing ectoderm, nervous system, skeleton, and tooth. In patients, WNT10A mutations are responsible for ectodermal-derived pathologies including isolated hypo-oligodontia, tricho-odonto-onycho-dermal dysplasia and Schöpf-Schulz-Passarge syndrome (SSPS). Here we describe the dental, ectodermal, and extra-ectodermal phenotypic features of a cohort of 41 patients from 32 unrelated families. Correlations with WNT10A molecular status (heterozygous carrier, compound heterozygous, homozygous) and patient's phenotypes were performed. Mild to severe oligodontia was observed in all patients bearing biallelic WNT10A mutations. However, patients with compound heterozygous mutations presented no significant difference in phenotypes compared with homozygous individuals. Anomalies in tooth morphology were frequently observed with heterozygous patients displaying hypodontia. No signs of SSPS, especially eyelids cysts, were detected in our cohort. Interestingly, extra-ectodermal signs consisted of skeletal, neurological and vascular anomalies, the latter suggesting a wider phenotypic spectrum associated with WNT10A mutations. Indeed, the Wnt pathway plays a crucial role in skeletal development, lipid metabolism, and neurogenesis, potentially explaining patient's clinical manifestations.
WNT10A 基因编码一种经典的无翅通路信号分子,参与细胞命运特化以及外胚层、神经系统、骨骼和牙齿的形态发生模式形成。在患者中,WNT10A 突变负责外胚层来源的病理学,包括孤立的少牙-少牙畸形、毛-牙-甲发育不良和 Schöpf-Schulz-Passarge 综合征(SSPS)。在这里,我们描述了来自 32 个无关家庭的 41 名患者的牙齿、外胚层和外胚层外表型特征。对 WNT10A 分子状态(杂合子携带者、复合杂合子、纯合子)与患者表型进行了相关性分析。所有携带双等位基因 WNT10A 突变的患者均观察到轻度至重度少牙症。然而,与纯合子个体相比,携带复合杂合突变的患者表型无显著差异。牙齿形态异常常发生在杂合子患者中,表现为少牙症。我们的队列中未发现 SSPS 的迹象,尤其是眼睑囊肿。有趣的是,外胚层外表现包括骨骼、神经和血管异常,后者提示与 WNT10A 突变相关的更广泛的表型谱。事实上,Wnt 通路在外胚层发育、脂质代谢和神经发生中发挥着至关重要的作用,这可能解释了患者的临床表现。
