Tooth development is regulated by multiple genetic pathways, which ultimately drive the complex interactions between the oral epithelium and mesenchyme. Disruptions at any time point during this process may lead to failure of tooth development, also known as tooth agenesis (TA). TA is a common craniofacial abnormality in humans and represents the failure to develop one or more permanent teeth. Many genes and potentially subtle variants in these genes contribute to the TA phenotype. We report the clinical and genetic impact of a rare homozygous ANTXR1 variant (c.1312C>T), identified by whole exome sequencing (WES), in a consanguineous Turkish family with TA. Mutations in ANTXR1 have been associated with GAPO (growth retardation, alopecia, pseudoanodontia, and optic atrophy) syndrome and infantile hemangioma, however no clinical characteristics associated with these conditions were observed in our study family. We detected the expression of Antxr1 in oral and dental tissues of developing mouse embryos, further supporting a role for this gene in tooth development. Our findings implicate ANTXR1 as a candidate gene for isolated TA, suggest the involvement of specific hypomorphic alleles, and expand the previously known ANTXR1-associated phenotypes.
牙齿发育受多种遗传途径调控,这些途径最终驱动口腔上皮和间充质之间的复杂相互作用。在此过程中任何时间点的破坏都可能导致牙齿发育失败,即牙齿缺失(TA)。TA是人类常见的颅面异常,表现为一颗或多颗恒牙发育失败。许多基因以及这些基因中潜在的微小变异都与TA表型有关。我们报告了通过全外显子组测序(WES)在一个患有TA的近亲土耳其家庭中鉴定出的罕见纯合ANTXR1变异(c.1312C>T)的临床和遗传影响。ANTXR1突变与GAPO(生长发育迟缓、脱发、假性无牙症和视神经萎缩)综合征及婴儿血管瘤有关,然而在我们的研究家庭中未观察到与这些病症相关的临床特征。我们在发育中的小鼠胚胎的口腔和牙齿组织中检测到了Antxr1的表达,进一步支持了该基因在牙齿发育中的作用。我们的研究结果表明ANTXR1是孤立性TA的候选基因,提示特定亚效等位基因的参与,并扩展了先前已知的ANTXR1相关表型。
