To decipher and improve the molecular diagnosis of Hypoplastic Amelogenesis Imperfecta in Morocco.
Using whole exome sequencing, we analyzed two Moroccan families with Hypoplastic Amelogenesis Imperfecta. The 2 patients from the first family had dental anomalies and short stature syndrome, brachyolmia and nephrocalcinosis with difference in severity, while the proband of the second family had Hypoplastic Amelogenesis Imperfecta with a suspicion of brachyolmia.
We identified two novel LTBP3 homozygous variants, the c.2495delT deletion (p.Phe832SerfsTer36) and the c.3716 G>A (p.Cys1239Tyr) missense variant, respectively. Molecular modelling and stability analyses of the missense variant disclosed a possible destabilization of the wild-type structure.
Although LTBP3 variants were related to this phenotype in various populations, we report the first LTBP3 variants in the Moroccan population, in families with Hypoplastic Amelogenesis Imperfecta.
破译并完善摩洛哥先天性牙釉质发育不全的分子诊断。
我们通过外显子组测序分析了来自两个摩洛哥家庭的先天性牙釉质发育不全患者。第一个家庭的 2 位患者均有牙齿异常和身材矮小综合征,且存在不同程度的短肢畸形和肾钙质沉着症,而第二个家庭的先证者则有先天性牙釉质发育不全,伴有短肢畸形的可疑症状。
我们分别鉴定出两个 LTBP3 纯合变异,c.2495delT 缺失(p.Phe832SerfsTer36)和 c.3716G>A(p.Cys1239Tyr)错义变异。错义变异的分子建模和稳定性分析表明,可能会使野生型结构不稳定。
尽管 LTBP3 变异与不同人群中的该表型有关,但我们首次在摩洛哥人群的先天性牙釉质发育不全家系中报道了 LTBP3 变异。
