WNT/β-catenin and BMP signaling pathways play important roles in the process of tooth development. Dysregulation of WNT/β-catenin and BMP signaling is implicated in a number of human malformations, including dental anomalies. Whole exome and Sanger sequencing identified seven patients with LRP5 mutations (p.Asn1121Asp, p.Asp856Asn, p.Val1433Met, and p.Val1245Met) and six patients with BMP4 mutations (p.Asn150Lys, p.Gly168Arg, p.Arg269Gln, and p.Ala42Glu). All patients were affected with isolated dental anomalies (dental anomalies with no other structural defects), including mesiodens, tooth agenesis, unseparated roots, narrow roots, shortened and tapered roots, and taurodontism. Five patients with LRP5 and one with BMP4 mutations had oral exostoses. Protein models of LRP5 mutations indicate the possible functional effects of the mutations. Here we report for the first time that mutations in LRP5 are associated with dental anomalies. LRP5 appears to be the first gene related to pathogenesis of mesiodens. We also show for the first time that in addition to tooth agenesis, mutations in BMP4 are also implicated in root maldevelopment and torus mandibularis. Sharing of the phenotypes of the patients with LRP5 and BMP4 mutations, which include root maldevelopment, tooth agenesis, and torus mandibularis, implicates cross talks between the WNT/β-catenin and BMP signaling pathways, especially during root development.
WNT/β-连环蛋白和 BMP 信号通路在牙齿发育过程中发挥重要作用。WNT/β-连环蛋白和 BMP 信号通路的失调与许多人类畸形有关,包括牙齿异常。全外显子组和 Sanger 测序确定了 7 名 LRP5 突变患者(p.Asn1121Asp、p.Asp856Asn、p.Val1433Met 和 p.Val1245Met)和 6 名 BMP4 突变患者(p.Asn150Lys、p.Gly168Arg、p.Arg269Gln 和 p.Ala42Glu)。所有患者均受孤立性牙齿异常(无其他结构缺陷的牙齿异常)影响,包括中切牙、牙齿缺失、未分离的牙根、狭窄的牙根、缩短和锥形牙根以及尖牙。5 名 LRP5 突变患者和 1 名 BMP4 突变患者有口腔外生骨疣。LRP5 突变的蛋白质模型表明突变可能具有功能影响。我们首次报道 LRP5 突变与牙齿异常有关。LRP5 似乎是第一个与中切牙发病机制相关的基因。我们还首次表明,除了牙齿缺失外,BMP4 突变也与牙根发育不良和下颌骨隆突有关。LRP5 和 BMP4 突变患者的表型具有相似性,包括牙根发育不良、牙齿缺失和下颌骨隆突,提示 WNT/β-连环蛋白和 BMP 信号通路之间存在交叉对话,尤其是在牙根发育过程中。
