A rare case of extensive multiple idiopathic cervical root resorption with potential genetic predisposition was presented. A heathy 19-year-old Chinese male with no contributory medical or family/social history complained of pain during mastication that lasted for several months. Oral examination identified 7 missing teeth and external cervical root resorption involving 9 teeth. Comparison of orthopantomograms taken in May 2021 and February 2022 identified that cervical root resorption occurred in 22 teeth. Resorption commenced at the cementoenamel junction and progressed rapidly over the 9-month period. Laboratory test results were within normal limits. Trio-based whole-exome sequencing showed a missense mutation c.5630 C > T in the filamin A (FLNA) gene at chromosome X of the subject. This is suggestive of the possibility of sex-linked recessive inheritance. This is the first study to report FLNA mutation in human subjects with cervical root resorption involving multiple teeth.
本文报告了一例罕见的广泛多发特发性颈椎根吸收病例,可能存在遗传易感性。一名 19 岁健康的中国男性,无其他医疗或家族/社会病史,主诉咀嚼时疼痛数月。口腔检查发现 7 颗缺失牙和 9 颗牙的外颈根吸收。比较 2021 年 5 月和 2022 年 2 月拍摄的全口曲面断层片,发现颈椎根吸收发生在 22 颗牙齿上。吸收始于牙骨质-釉质交界处,在 9 个月内迅速进展。实验室检查结果在正常范围内。基于三重的全外显子组测序显示,该患者 X 染色体上的原肌球蛋白 A (FLNA) 基因 c.5630C>T 存在错义突变。这提示可能存在性连锁隐性遗传。这是首例报道 FLNA 突变与多颗牙齿颈椎根吸收相关的人类研究。
