Enamel Renal Syndrome (ERS) (OMIM # 204690) is a rare genetic condition characterised by hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta, failed tooth eruption, intra-pulpal calcifications, gingival enlargement and occasionally nephrocalcinosis. In this case series, we report on four unrelated patients with a confirmed molecular diagnosis of ERS ( pathogenic variants) from Sub-Saharan Africa. The pathognomonic oral profile of ERS was mostly fulfilled in these patients, with the notable addition of an odontoma in one patient. The cases presented a spectrum of phenotypic severity both dentally and systemically. One patient presented with nephrocalcinosis and abnormal kidney function, one had reduced kidney size with normal kidney function, and two had no renal abnormalities. Patients presenting with the oral profile of ERS should receive a prompt referral to a nephrologist and a geneticist. They should receive long-term management from a multidisciplinary medical and dental team.
釉质-肾综合征(ERS)(在线人类孟德尔遗传数据库编号#204690)是一种罕见的遗传性疾病,其特征为牙釉质发育不全、牙齿萌出失败、牙髓内钙化、牙龈增生,偶尔还伴有肾钙质沉着症。在本病例系列中,我们报告了来自撒哈拉以南非洲地区的4例经确诊为ERS(致病变异)的非亲缘关系患者。这些患者大多符合ERS的典型口腔表现,其中1例患者还伴有牙瘤。这些病例在牙齿和全身方面呈现出一系列表型严重程度。1例患者出现肾钙质沉着症和肾功能异常,1例患者肾脏体积减小但肾功能正常,另外2例患者无肾脏异常。具有ERS口腔表现的患者应立即转诊至肾病科医生和遗传学家处。他们应接受多学科医疗和牙科团队的长期管理。
