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
Alexander disease is a primary genetic disorder of astrocytes caused by dominant mutations in the gene encoding glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). How single-amino-acid changes can lead to cytoskeletal catastrophe and brain degeneration remains poorly understood. In this study, we have analyzed 14 missense mutations located in the GFAP rod domain to investigate how these mutations affect in vitro filament assembly. Whereas the internal rod mutants assembled into filaments that were shorter than those of wild type, the rod end mutants formed structures with one or more of several atypical characteristics, including short filament length, irregular width, roughness of filament surface, and filament aggregation. When transduced into primary astrocytes, GFAP mutants with in vitro assembly defects usually formed cytoplasmic aggregates, which were more resistant to biochemical extraction. The resistance of GFAP to solubilization was also observed in brain tissues of patients with Alexander disease, in which a significant proportion of insoluble GFAP were accumulated in Rosenthal fiber fractions. These findings provide clinically relevant evidence that link GFAP assembly defects to disease pathology at the tissue level and suggest that altered filament assembly and properties as a result of GFAP mutation are critical initiating factors for the pathogenesis of Alexander disease.

Abstract
Progeroid syndromes are a group of rare genetic disorders, which mimic natural aging. Unraveling the molecular defects in such conditions could impact our understanding of age-related syndromes such as Alzheimer’s or cardiovascular diseases. Here we report a de novo heterozygous missense variant in the intermediate filament vimentin (c.1160 T > C; p.(Leu387Pro)) causing a multisystem disorder associated with frontonasal dysostosis and premature aging in a 39-year-old individual. Human vimentin p.(Leu387Pro) expression in zebrafish perturbed body fat distribution, and craniofacial and peripheral nervous system development. In addition, studies in patient-derived and transfected cells revealed that the variant affects vimentin turnover and its ability to form filaments in the absence of wild-type vimentin. Vimentin p.(Leu387Pro) expression diminished the amount of peripilin and reduced lipid accumulation in differentiating adipocytes, recapitulating key patient’s features in vivo and in vitro. Our data highlight the function of vimentin during development and suggest its contribution to natural aging.

Abstract
Steatocystoma multiplex is an uncommon benign skin disease, which typically manifests as numerous intradermal cysts that can be scattered anywhere on the body. Although usually asymptomatic, it can be significantly disfiguring. One type of steatocystoma multiplex is known to be associated with the autosomal dominant inheritance of a mutation in the gene coding for keratin 17 (KRT17). In such cases, it is often concurrent with other developmental abnormalities of the ectoderm-derived tissues, such as the nails, hair, and teeth. To the best of our knowledge, few cases have been reported of steatocystoma multiplex of the oral and maxillofacial region. This report describes a case of steatocystoma multiplex of both sides of the neck and multiple dental anomalies, with a focus on its clinical, radiological, and histopathological characteristics, as well as the possibility that the patient exhibited the familial type of this condition.

Abstract
Keratin 17 (K17) is a type I intermediate filament mainly expressed in the basal cells of epithelia. As a multifaceted cytoskeletal protein, K17 regulates a myriad of biological processes, including cell proliferation and growth, skin inflammation and hair follicle cycling. Aberrant overexpression of K17 is found in various diseases ranging from psoriasis to malignancies such as breast, cervical, oral squamous and gastric carcinomas. Moreover, genetic mutation in KRT17 is related to tissue-specific diseases, represented by steatocystoma multiplex and pachyonychia congenita. In this review, we summarize our findings concerning the regulatory mechanisms of K17 overexpression in psoriasis and compare them to the literature relating to other diseases. We discuss data that proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-17 (IL-17), IL-22, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) and transcription factors glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1/2 (Gli1/2), Nrf2 and p53 can regulate K17 by transcriptional and translational control. Moreover, post-translational modification, including phosphorylation and ubiquitination, is involved in the regulation of K17 stability and biological functions. We therefore review the current understanding of the K17 regulatory mechanism and its pathogenic role in diseases from dermatoses to cancer. Prospects for anti-K17 therapy in diagnosis, prognosis and disease treatment are also discussed. Copyright © 2018 Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

Abstract
Steatocystoma multiplex (SM) is an uncommon disorder, characterized by numerous skin-colored subcutaneous cysts. A number of SM pedigrees have been identified with mutations in the keratin 17 (KRT17) gene. The present study examined a four-generation Chinese pedigree with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance and examined its genetic basis. A review of the literature on KRT17 gene mutations in the SM pedigree was also performed to investigate the KRT17 gene mutation and genotype-phenotype correlation. Exon 1 of the KRTl7 gene was amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from genomic DNA obtained, which was obtained from 25 family members in the selected Chinese pedigree and from 100 unrelated control individuals. The DNA was then subjected to automatic DNA sequencing. Genealogical investigations demonstrated an autosomal dominant pattern, and direct sequencing of the PCR product revealed a heterozygous mutation, c.280C/T (R94C), which was located in exon 1 of the KRT17 gene in all 10 affected family members. The mutation was not identified in the 15 unaffected family members or in the 100 unrelated control individuals. Therefore, the present study identified a causative mutation in the KRT17 gene in a large Chinese SM pedigree, exhibiting autosomal dominance. A review of the literature suggested that, in addition to the mutation factor, other modifying factors contribute to the phenotype of familial SM.

Abstract
Steatocystoma multiplex (SM) is an unusual benign disorder of the pilosebaceous duct characterized by multiple cysts with little or no nail and hair involvement. We report a 30-year-old woman with multiple cystic nodules located on the neck, axillae and forearms as well as patchy scalp alopecia. Histopathological examination of the lesions was diagnostic of SM. Trichoscopy revealed pili torti and pili canaliculi. This patient represents an unusual clinical presentation of SM because of the presence of hair abnormalities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oligodontia, which is the congenital absence of six or more permanent teeth excluding third molars, may contribute to masticatory dysfunction, speech alteration, aesthetic problems and malocclusion. To date, mutations in EDA, AXIN2, MSX1, PAX9, WNT10A, EDAR, EDARADD, NEMO and KRT 17 are known to associate with non-syndromic oligodontia. The aim of the study was to search for AXIN2 mutations in 96 patients with non-syndromic oligodontia. DESIGN We performed mutation analysis of 10 exons of the AXIN2 gene in 96 patients with isolated non-syndromic oligodontia. RESULTS We identified two novel missense mutations (Exon 3 c.923C>T and Exon 11 c.2490G>C) in two patients. One mutation (c.923C>T) results in a Thr308Met substitution and the other mutation (c.2490G>C) results in a Met830Ile substitution. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report indicating that mutations in AXIN2 are responsible for oligodontia in the Chinese population. Our findings indicate that AXIN2 can be regarded as a candidate gene for mutation detection in individuals with non-syndromic oligodontia in the Chinese population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The goal of this work was to identify all known gene mutations that have been associated with the development of nonsyndromic oligodontia. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed electronically in two databases (PubMed, Medpilot) supplemented by a hand search. Articles published up to March 2012 were considered. Search terms were combined as follows: oligodontia and genes, oligodontia and mutations, tooth agenesis and genes, and tooth agenesis and mutations. A meta-analysis of the data was conducted based on the Tooth Agenesis Code (TAC). RESULTS Seven genes are currently known to have a potential for causing nonsyndromic oligodontia. All these genes vary both in terms of number of identified mutations and in terms of number of documented patients: 33 mutations and 93 patients are on record for PAX9, 10 mutations and 51 patients for EDA, 12 mutations and 33 patients for MSX1, 6 mutations and 17 patients for AXIN2, and 1 mutation in 1 patient for EDARADD, NEMO, and KRT17 each. A total TAC score of 250 was found to have cutoff properties, as 100% of MSX1 and 80% of EDA patients exhibited TAC ≤ 250, whereas 96.9% of PAX9 and 90% of AXIN2 patients exhibited TAC >250. Furthermore, 94.3% of EDA patients but only 28.6% of MSX1 patients exhibited odd-numbered TAC scores in at least one quadrant, and 72.7% of PAX9 but none of the AXIN2 patients were found to show TAC scores of 112 in at least one quadrant. CONCLUSION In order of decreasing frequency, PAX9, EDA, MSX1, AXIN2, EDARADD, NEMO, and KRT17 are the seven genes currently known to have a potential for causing nonsyndromic oligodontia. TAC scores enabled us to identify an association between oligodontia phenotypes and genotypes in the patients covered by this meta-analysis.

Abstract
A 17 years old female presented with multiple asymptomatic cutaneous cysts all over body, sparing the head and neck region. The microscopic examination of the cysts showed the features of steatocystoma multiplex. This disorder, although it is asymptomatic, is a cosmetic threat to the patient. Only a few cases of the patients with an autosomal dominant mutation, who had keratin 17, have been reported. We are reporting here, a case of steatocystoma multiplex in a 17 years old female, along with its review of literature.
