Isolated hypodontia is the most common human malformation. It is caused by heterozygous variants in various genes, with heterozygous WNT10A variants being the most common cause. WNT10A and WNT10B are paralogs that likely evolved from a common ancestral gene after its duplication. Recently, an association of WNT10B variants with oligodontia (severe tooth agenesis) has been reported. We performed mutational analysis in our cohort of 256 unrelated Thai families with various kinds of isolated dental anomalies. In 7 families afflicted with dental anomalies we detected 4 heterozygous missense variants in WNT10B. We performed whole exome sequencing in the patients who had WNT10B mutations and found no mutations in other known hypodontia-associated genes, including WNT10A, MSX1, PAX9, EDA, AXIN2, EDAR, EDARADD, LPR6, TFAP2B, LPR6, NEMO, KRT17, and GREM2. Our findings indicate that the variants c.475G>C [p.(Ala159Pro)], found in 4 families, and c.1052G>A [p.(Arg351His)], found in 1 family, are most probably causative. They also show that WNT10B variants are associated not only with oligodontia and isolated tooth agenesis, but also with microdontia, short tooth roots, dental pulp stones, and taurodontism.
孤立性缺牙是最常见的人类畸形。它是由各种基因中的杂合变异引起的,其中杂合 WNT10A 变异是最常见的原因。WNT10A 和 WNT10B 是从共同的祖先基因复制后可能进化而来的旁系同源物。最近,有报道称 WNT10B 变异与少牙症(严重牙齿缺失)有关。我们对 256 个来自泰国的具有各种孤立性牙齿异常的无关家庭的队列进行了突变分析。在 7 个受牙齿异常影响的家庭中,我们在 WNT10B 中检测到 4 个杂合错义变异。我们对 WNT10B 突变的患者进行了全外显子组测序,在其他已知的与缺牙相关的基因中未发现突变,包括 WNT10A、MSX1、PAX9、EDA、AXIN2、EDAR、EDARADD、LPR6、TFAP2B、LPR6、NEMO、KRT17 和 GREM2。我们的发现表明,在 4 个家庭中发现的 c.475G>C [p.(Ala159Pro)] 和在 1 个家庭中发现的 c.1052G>A [p.(Arg351His)] 变体很可能是致病原因。它们还表明,WNT10B 变体不仅与少牙症和孤立性牙齿缺失有关,还与多生牙、短根、牙髓结石和尖牙畸形有关。
