The dental abnormalities are the typical features of many ectodermal dysplasias along with congenital malformations of nails, skin, hair, and sweat glands. However, several reports of non-syndromic/isolated tooth agenesis have also been found in the literature. The characteristic features of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) comprise of hypodontia/oligodontia, along with hypohidrosis/anhidrosis, and hypotrichosis. Pathogenic variants in , , , and , cause the phenotypic expression of HED. Genetic alterations in and cause particularly non-syndromic/isolated oligodontia. In the current project, we recruited 57 patients of 17 genetic pedigrees (A-Q) from different geographic regions of the world, including Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. The molecular investigation of different syndromic and non-syndromic dental conditions, including hypodontia, oligodontia, generalized odontodysplasia, and dental crowding was carried out by using exome and Sanger sequencing. We have identified a novel missense variant (c.311G>A; p.Arg104His) in in three oligodontia patients of family A, two novel sequence variants (c.207delinsTT, p.Gly70Trpfs25 and c.1300T>G; p.Try434Gly) in in three patients of family B and four patients of family C, respectively. To better understand the structural and functional consequences of missense variants in WNT10A and EDAR on the stability of the proteins, we have performed extensive molecular dynamic (MD) simulations. We have also identified three previously reported pathogenic variants (c.1076T>C; p.Met359Thr), (c.1133C>T; p.Thr378Met) and (c.594_595insC; Gly201Argfs39) in in family D (four patients), E (two patients) and F (one patient), correspondingly. Presently, our data explain the genetic cause of 18 syndromic and non-syndromic tooth agenesis patients in six autosomal recessive and X-linked pedigrees (A-F), which expand the mutational spectrum of these unique clinical manifestations.
牙齿异常是许多外胚层发育不良的典型特征,同时还伴有指甲、皮肤、毛发和汗腺的先天畸形。然而,文献中也有许多非综合征/孤立性牙齿缺失的报道。汗孔发育不全性外胚层发育不良(HED)的特征性表现包括少牙/无牙,同时伴有少汗/无汗和毛发稀疏。 、 、 、 和 中的致病变体导致 HED 的表型表达。 和 中的基因改变特别导致非综合征/孤立性少牙症。在当前的项目中,我们从世界不同地理区域(包括巴基斯坦、埃及、沙特阿拉伯和叙利亚)招募了 17 个遗传谱系(A-Q)的 57 名患者。通过外显子组和 Sanger 测序对不同综合征和非综合征牙齿状况(包括少牙症、无牙症、全牙发育不良和牙齿拥挤)进行了分子研究。我们在家族 A 的三名少牙症患者中发现了 中的一个新错义变体(c.311G>A;p.Arg104His),在家族 B 的三名患者中发现了两个新的序列变体(c.207delinsTT,p.Gly70Trpfs25 和 c.1300T>G;p.Try434Gly),在家族 C 的四名患者中发现了 中的一个新错义变体(c.1300T>G;p.Try434Gly)。为了更好地了解 WNT10A 和 EDAR 中的错义变体对蛋白质稳定性的结构和功能影响,我们进行了广泛的分子动力学(MD)模拟。我们还在家族 D(四名患者)、E(两名患者)和 F(一名患者)中发现了三个先前报道的致病性变体(c.1076T>C;p.Met359Thr)、(c.1133C>T;p.Thr378Met)和(c.594_595insC;Gly201Argfs39)在 中。目前,我们的数据解释了六个常染色体隐性和 X 连锁谱系(A-F)中 18 名综合征和非综合征牙齿缺失患者的遗传原因,这扩展了这些独特临床表现的突变谱。
