Children with non-syndromic cleft lip with or without palate (CL ± P) may present alterations in dental development. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to compare the dental age (DA) between children with and without CL ± P, and whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding growth factors are associated with DA variations.
Children aged between 5 and 14 years with and without CL ± P were recruited to participate in this study. DA was evaluated by calibrated examiners (kappa > 0.80) using the method proposed by Demirjian et al. (1973). Genomic DNA was extracted from buccal cells, and SNPs in Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) - rs4444903 and rs2237051, Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) - rs2227983 -, Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 (TGFB1) - rs1800470 and rs4803455 -, and Transforming Growth Factor Beta Receptor 2 (TGFBR2) - rs3087465 - were genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reactions using the TaqMan assay. The Student T-test was used to compare the variations in DA between the phenotypes "with CL ± P" and "without CL ± P", and the ANOVA two-way test was performed to compare the variations in DA among the genotypes (α = 0.05). A post-hoc analysis was performed using Bonferroni correction.
Two hundred and nine (n = 209) children (100 with CL ± P and 109 without CL ± P) with a mean chronological age of 8.66 years - standard deviation (SD) = 1.92 - were included. The group with CL ± P demonstrated a significantly delayed DA (mean=-0.23; SD = 0.71) compared to the group without CL ± P (mean=-0.01; SD = 0.88) (p = 0.049). Genotype distributions were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The SNP rs4803455 in TGFB1 was significantly associated with DA variations in children without CL ± P (p < 0.01). In the group with CL ± P, no significant differences in DA were observed among the genotypes.
Children with CL ± P presented delayed DA compared with children without CL ± P. The SNP rs4803455 in TGFB1 is associated with variations in DA in children without CL ± P.
患有非综合征性唇裂伴或不伴腭裂(CL±P)的儿童可能存在牙齿发育异常。本横断面研究的目的是比较患有和未患有CL±P的儿童的牙龄(DA),以及编码生长因子的基因中的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)是否与DA变化相关。
招募了年龄在5至14岁之间患有和未患有CL±P的儿童参与本研究。由经过校准的检查人员(kappa>0.80)使用Demirjian等人(1973年)提出的方法评估DA。从颊细胞中提取基因组DNA,并使用TaqMan分析法通过实时聚合酶链反应对表皮生长因子(EGF)-rs4444903和rs2237051、表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)-rs2227983、转化生长因子β1(TGFB1)-rs1800470和rs4803455以及转化生长因子β受体2(TGFBR2)-rs3087465中的SNP进行基因分型。使用学生t检验比较“患有CL±P”和“未患有CL±P”表型之间的DA差异,并进行方差分析双向检验以比较各基因型之间的DA差异(α=0.05)。使用Bonferroni校正进行事后分析。
纳入了209名儿童(n=209)(100名患有CL±P,109名未患有CL±P),平均实足年龄为8.66岁 - 标准差(SD)=1.92。与未患有CL±P的组(平均值=-0.01;SD=0.88)相比,患有CL±P的组显示出明显延迟的DA(平均值=-0.23;SD=0.71)(p=0.049)。基因型分布符合哈迪-温伯格平衡。TGFB1中的SNP rs4803455与未患有CL±P的儿童的DA变化显著相关(p<0.01)。在患有CL±P的组中,各基因型之间在DA方面未观察到显著差异。
与未患有CL±P的儿童相比,患有CL±P的儿童DA延迟。TGFB1中的SNP rs4803455与未患有CL±P的儿童的DA变化相关。
