[PMID: 37422997 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2023.105759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/02/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Variants in wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 10A (WNT10A) have been proposed to be the most common cause of non-syndromic oligodontia (NSO). The goal of the present study was to identify the novel WNT10A variants in Chinese families with NSO. DESIGN Clinical data were collected from 39 families with oligodontia admitted to the Hospital of Stomatology Hebei Medical University (China) from 2016 to 2022. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) and Sanger sequencing were performed to identify WNT10A variants in three families with non-syndromic oligodontia. Amino acid conservation analysis and protein conformational analysis were conducted for the WNT10A variant. Genotype-phenotype analysis was performed on the previously reported WNT10A variants related to NSO. RESULTS We found a novel heterozygous WNT10A variant c.1127 G>A (p.Cys376Tyr) and two reported heterozygous variants c.460 C>A (p.Leu154Met) and c.511 C>T (p.Arg171Cys). Structural modeling showed that the novel WNT10A variant was located in a highly conserved domain, which led to structural damage of WNT10A protein. In addition, we found that the phenotype of the WNT10A variants affected the maxillary second premolars, followed by the mandibular second premolars, and rarely affected the maxillary central incisor. Herein, it is the first time to report that NSO patients with WNT10A monoallele mutation carry taurodontism phenotype and 6.1% prevalence of taurodontism in WNT10A-related NSO patients. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated that the novel variant c.1127 G>A (p.Cys376Tyr) of WNT10A causes NSO. The present study expanded the known variation spectrum of WNT10A and provided valuable information for genetic counseling of families.

[PMID: 37745851 PMCID: PMC10514915 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1248326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Determining genotype-phenotype correlations in patients with hypodontia is important for understanding disease pathogenesis, although only a few studies have elucidated it. We aimed to identify genetic variants linked to non-syndromic bilateral mandibular second premolar hypodontia in a Korean population for the first time by specifying the phenotype of hypodontia. Twenty unrelated individuals with non-syndromic bilateral mandibular second premolar hypodontia were enrolled for whole-exome sequencing. Using a tooth agenesis gene set panel consisting of 112 genes based on literature, potential candidate variants were screened through variant filtering and prioritization. We identified 13 candidate variants in 12 genes, including a stop-gain variant (c.4750C>T) in LAMA3. Through the functional enrichment analysis of the prioritized genes, several terms related to tooth development were enriched in a protein-protein interaction network of candidate genes for mandibular premolar hypodontia. The hypodontia group also had approximately 2-fold as many mutated variants in all four genes related to these key terms, which are CDH1, ITGB4, LAMA3, LAMB3, as those in the 100 healthy control group individuals. The relationship between enriched terms and pathways and mandibular premolar hypodontia was also investigated. In addition, we identified some known oligodontia variants in patients with hypodontia, strengthening the possibility of synergistic effects in other genes. This genetic investigation may be a worthwhile preliminary attempt to reveal the pathogenesis of tooth agenesis and sets a background for future studies.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to examine the prevalence of WNT10A and RUNX2 mutations and assess their potential impact on the phenotype of non-syndromic tooth agenesis. The study included 30 participants with non-syndromic tooth agenesis, divided into hypodontia (n = 24) and oligodontia forms (n = 6), and 42 unaffected family members. Genomic DNA from buccal epithelial cells was used for polymerase chain reaction amplification of functionally important exons of the WNT10A and RUNX2 genes. Direct sequencing reactions were performed to confirm the presence of mutations. The trend of increasing prevalence of WNT10A mutations and a slight increase in the prevalence of RUNX2 mutations were revealed in tooth agenesis cases compared to unaffected family members. There was a higher prevalence of hypodontia than oligodontia, increased frequency of females over males with missing teeth, and a wide phenotypic variability was observed in individuals and families analyzed. The common missense mutations (p.Phe228Ile, p.Arg113Cys, p.Asp217Asn, and p.Gly165Arg) and c.114-56T>C in the WNT10A gene and in-frame-deletion/insertions (11A, 24Q, 30Q), synonymous variant c.240G>A, and 424-33dupC in the RUNX2 gene were identified. These findings highlight an important role of WNT10A and RUNX2 mutations in the genetic etiology of non-syndromic tooth agenesis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to assess genes known to be associated with tooth agenesis with next-generation sequencing (NGS) and analyze the relationship between these mutations and tooth agenesis phenotypes. METHODS The study included 49 individuals aged between 6 and 13 years. A total of 14 genes related to nonsyndromic tooth agenesis were selected for targeted NGS. Mutations in Msh homeobox 1 (MSX1), Wnt family member 10A (WNT10A), axis inhibition protein 2 (AXIN2), keratin 17 (KRT17), lipoprotein receptor 6 (LRP6), and secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC)-related modular calcium-binding protein 2 (SMOC2) genes were investigated. RESULTS Mutations in six genes were detected in 12 of 49 subjects. Fifteen variants were identified, including the unknown variants c.657G > C in MSX1, c.2029C > T in AXIN2, and c.1603A > T in LRP6. Second premolar tooth agenesis was observed in 43.3% of all tooth agenesis cases with mutations, and it was the predominant phenotype observed for each mutated gene, followed by tooth agenesis of the lateral incisors (20%). CONCLUSIONS Variations in MSX1, WNT10A, AXIN2, KRT17, LRP6, and SMOC2 may be a risk factor for hypodontia or oligodontia in the Turkish population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was the analysis of WNT10A variants in seven families of probands with various forms of tooth agenesis and self-reported family history of cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled 60 young subjects (aged 13 to 17) from the Czech Republic with various forms of tooth agenesis. Dental phenotypes were assessed using Planmeca ProMax 3D (Planmeca Oy, Finland) with Planmeca Romexis software (version 2.9.2) together with oral examinations. After screening PAX9, MSX1, EDA, EDAR, AXIN2 and WNT10A genes on the Illumina MiSeq platform (Illumina, USA), we further analyzed the evolutionarily highly conserved WNT10A gene by capillary sequencing in the seven families. RESULTS All the detected variants were heterozygous or compound heterozygous with various levels of phenotypic expression. The most severe phenotype (oligodontia) was found in a proband who was compound heterozygous for the previously identified WNT10A variant p.Phe228Ile and a newly discovered c.748G > A variant (p.Gly250Arg) of WNT10A. The newly identified variant causes substitution of hydrophobic glycine for hydrophilic arginine. CONCLUSIONS We suggest that the amino acid changes in otherwise highly conserved sequences significantly affect the dental phenotype. No relationship between the presence of WNT10A variants and a risk of cancer has been found. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Screening of PAX9, MSX1, EDA, EDAR, AXIN2 and WNT10A genes in hope to elucidate the pattern of inheritance in families.

Abstract
WNTs (Wingless-related integration sites) are secreted glycoproteins that are involved in signalling pathways critical to organ development and tissue regeneration. Of the 19 known WNT ligands, one member of this family, WNT10A, appears to have specific relevance to skin, its appendages and teeth. This review focuses on how variants in the WNT10A gene have been associated with various ectodermal disorders and how such changes may have clinical relevance to dermatologists and dentists. Germline mutations in WNT10A underlie several forms of autosomal recessive ectodermal dysplasia in which heterozygous carriers may also display some lesser ectodermal anomalies. Within the general population, multiple heterozygous variants in WNT10A can cause skin, hair, sweat gland or dental alterations, also known as ectodermal derivative impairments. WNT10A variants have also been implicated in hair thickness, male androgenetic alopecia, hair curl, acne vulgaris, lipodystrophy, keloids, wound healing, tooth size, tooth agenesis, hypodontia, taurodontism and oral clefting. Beyond dermatology and dentistry, WNT10A abnormalities have also been identified in kidney fibrosis, keratoconus, certain malignancies (particularly gastrointestinal) and neuropathic pain pathways. In this review, we detail how WNT10A is implicated as a key physiological and pathological contributor to syndromic and nonsyndromic disorders, as well as population variants, affecting the skin and teeth, and document all reported mutations in WNT10A with genotype-phenotype correlation.

Abstract
Tooth agenesis is one of the most common orodental anomalies that demonstrate phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity with a prevalence of 2.5%–7%. Mutations in WNT10A have been proposed to be the most common cause of nonsyndromic tooth agenesis (NSTA). The aim of this study was to characterize the dental features and genetic variants of NSTA in a Thai population. We recruited 13 unrelated patients with NSTA who attended the Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, from 2017 to 2019. All 13 underwent whole exome sequencing that identified likely pathogenic genetic variants, all in WNT10A, in five patients. All five patients had second premolar agenesis, while three also had absent or peg-shaped upper lateral incisors. Patient 1 possessed a novel heterozygous duplication, c.916_918dupAAC (p.Asn306dup) in WNT10A. Patients 2 and 3 harbored a heterozygous and homozygous c.637G > A (p.Gly213Ser) in WNT10A, respectively. Patients 4 possessed a heterozygous c.511C > T (p.Arg171Cys) in WNT10A. Patient 5 harbored a homozygous c.511C > T (p.Arg171Cys) in WNT10A and a novel heterozygous c.413A > T (p.Asn138Ile) in EDARADD, suggesting digenic inheritance. We recruited another 18 family members of these five patients. Out of 23 participants, homozygous WNT10A variants were identified in 2 patients and heterozygous variants in 17 individuals. Both homozygous patients had NSTA. Eight out of 17 heterozygous individuals (8/17) had NSTA or a peg-shaped lateral incisor, indicating a 47% penetrance of the heterozygous variants or 53% (10/19) penetrance of either homozygous or heterozygous variants in WNT10A. The frequencies of the c.511C > T in our in-house 1,876 Thai exome database, Asian populations, and non-Asian populations were 0.016, 0.005–0.033, and 0.001, respectively; while those of the c.637G > A were 0.016, 0.004–0.029, and 0.000, respectively. In conclusion, our study reports two novel variants with one each in WNT10A and EDARADD, expanding the genotypic spectra of NSTA. Second premolar agenesis is a common phenotype in affected individuals with variants in WNT10A; however, its penetrance is incomplete. Lastly, the different frequencies of WNT10A variants, c.511C > T and c.637G > A, in diverse populations might contribute to the prevalence range of NSTA between continents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Non-syndromic oligodontia is an infrequent clinical condition whose etiology is not yet completely understood being a wide spectrum of gene mutations described in concomitance with this severe form of tooth agenesis. Recently, multiple observations have linked up to 50% of cases with isolated hypodontia to mutations in the WNT10A gene. Here, we hypothesized that mutations in the WNT10A gene could also be present in families affected by non-syndromic oligodontia. MATERIAL AND METHODS All available patients with non-syndromic oligodontia (n = 20) treated at the Department of Orthodontics, University of Giessen, Germany between 1986 and 2013 as well as their family members were analyzed for mutations in the WNT10A gene. RESULTS Mutation screening was positive in 50% of the 20 patients. The analysis revealed that the mutations 2:219755011(c.682T>TA)(p.F228I), 2:219754822(c.493G>GA)(p.G165R), 2:219754816(c.487C>CT)(p.R163W), and 2:219747090(c.321C>CA)(p.C107*), the novel missense mutation 2:219757676(c.937G/GT)(p.G313C), and the novel synonym variant 2:219754854(c.525C>CT)(p.H175H) were present. CONCLUSION Multiple phenotypes are found in individuals presenting mutations in the WNT10A gene. Among them, the stop codon p.C107* as well as the biallelic p.F228I variants correlate with the most severe oligodontia phenotypes. In addition, we diagnosed the monoallelic mutations p.F228I, p.G165R, and p.G313C in healthy relatives with normal dentitions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE A correct diagnosis of non-syndromic oligodontia is fundamental to discard a possible underlying pathology in which multiple tooth agenesis could be the most evidential clinical sign. Due to the wide spectrum of pathologies that are associated to mutations in the WNT10A gene, an extended genetic analysis of these individuals' relatives is also essential.

PATIENTS AND METHODS A family of three sisters with severe tooth agenesis was recruited for whole-exome sequencing to identify potential genetic variation responsible for this penetrant phenotype. The unaffected father was tested for specific mutations using Sanger sequencing. Gene discovery was supplemented with in situ hybridization to localize gene expression during human tooth development. RESULTS We report a nonsense heterozygous mutation in exon 2 of WNT10A c.321C>A[p.Cys107*] likely to be responsible for the severe tooth agenesis identified in this family through the creation of a premature stop codon, resulting in truncation of the amino acid sequence and therefore loss of protein function. In situ hybridization showed expression of WNT10A in odontogenic epithelium during the early and late stages of human primary tooth development. CONCLUSIONS WNT10A has previously been associated with both syndromic and non-syndromic forms of tooth agenesis, and this report further expands our knowledge of genetic variation underlying non-syndromic forms of this condition. We also demonstrate expression of WNT10A in the epithelial compartment of human tooth germs during development.

Abstract
The most common outcome of defective dental morphogenesis in human patients is dental agenesis (absence of teeth). This may affect either the primary or permanent dentition and can range from 5 or fewer missing teeth (hypodontia), 6 or more (oligodontia), to complete absence of teeth (anodontia). Both isolated and syndromic dental agenesis have been reported to be associated with a large number of mutated genes. The aim of this review was to analyze the dental phenotypes of syndromic and nonsyndromic dental agenesis linked to gene mutations. A systematic review of the literature focusing on genes ( MSX1, PAX9, AXIN2, PITX2, WNT10A, NEMO, EDA, EDAR, EDARADD, GREMLIN2, LTBP3, LRP6, and SMOC2) known to be involved in dental agenesis was performed and included 101 articles. A meta-analysis was performed using the dental phenotypes of 522 patients. The total number and type of missing teeth were analyzed for each mutated gene. The percentages of missing teeth for each gene were compared to determine correlations between genotypes and phenotypes. Third molar agenesis was included in the clinical phenotype assessment. The findings show that isolated dental agenesis exists as part of a spectrum of syndromes for all the identified genes except PAX9 and that the pattern of dental agenesis can be useful in clinical diagnosis to identify (or narrow) the causative gene mutations. While third molar agenesis was the most frequent type of dental agenesis, affecting 70% of patients, it was described in only 30% of patients with EDA gene mutations. This study shows that the pattern of dental agenesis gives information about the mutated gene and could guide molecular diagnosis for geneticists.

Abstract
It has been reported that dozens of WNT10A variants are associated with human isolated tooth agenesis, however, little is known about the precise phenotypes. In 50 Japanese patients with severe congenital tooth agenesis, we identified 11 patients with WNT10A variants. Comparing phenotypes between the tooth agenesis patients carrying the wild-type and variants of WNT10A, we revealed that the development of lateral incisors is relatively susceptive to insufficiency of WNT/β-catenin signaling.

Abstract
Gene mutation has an important role in disease pathogenesis; therefore, genetic screening is a useful tool for diagnosis. The present study screened pathogenic genes, ectodysplasin A (EDA) and lamin A/C (LMNA), in a patient with suspected syndromic hearing impairment and various other symptoms including tooth and skin abnormalities. Large-scale sequencing of 438 deafness-associated genes and whole-genome sequencing was also performed. The present findings did not identify copy number variation and mutations in EDA; therefore, excluding the possibility of EDA-initiated ectodermal dysplasia syndrome. A synonymous mutation in LMNA, possibly due to a splicing abnormality, did not elucidate the pathogenesis of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. Whole-genome sequencing revealed copy number variations or mutations in various candidate genes which may elucidate part of the symptoms observed. The copy number variations and mutations were also used to identify single nucleotide variations (SNVs) in crystallin mu (CRYM), RAB3 GTPase activating protein catalytic subunit 1 (RAB3GAP1) and Wnt family member 10A (WNT10A), implicated in deafness, hypogonadism and tooth/skin abnormalities, respectively. The importance of an existing SNV in CRYM and a novel SNV in RAB3GAP1 in pathogenesis remains to be further elucidated. The WNT10A p.G213S mutation was confirmed to be the etiological cause of tooth agenesis and ectodermal dysplasia as previously described. It was concluded that a mutation in WNT10A may be the reason for some of the symptoms observed in the patient; however, other genes may also be involved for other symptoms. The findings of the present study provide putative gene mutations that require further investigation in order to determine their roles in pathogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to explore patterns of non-syndromic permanent tooth agenesis in a large orthodontic patient group. DESIGN A record review was performed in various orthodontic clinics to identify white patients with non-syndromic permanent tooth agenesis, excluding 3rd molars. Four hundred and fourteen subjects fulfilled the inclusion criteria. RESULTS In the 414 subjects with tooth agenesis, approximately 70% presented 1-2 missing teeth. Symmetric agenesis patterns were often observed in the sample (by jaw, by side, or crossed quadrants), with prevalence approaching 30% for cases with contralateral tooth agenesis within a jaw. In cases with 1 or 2 missing teeth, from the total number of potential tooth agenesis patterns in the sample, a certain part was evident, limiting the variation to 27.8% (44/158). In the entire sample, both in the maxilla and the mandible a certain incisor/premolar agenesis phenotype was observed in 59.0% of cases in isolated form. CONCLUSIONS Although there was variation in the tooth agenesis patterns, our findings suggest the involvement of particular genetic, epigenetic, and/or environmental factors in the formation of the entire dentition, which often lead to specific tooth agenesis phenotypes in cases where this process is disrupted. The present study provides a comprehensive categorization of orthodontic cases with tooth agenesis and can assist in planning future epidemiological and genetic studies.
