Bezamat M, Carver CE, Vieira AR. Family-based GWAS for dental class I malocclusion and clefts. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:665. [PMID: 38849772 PMCID: PMC11162011 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04444-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals born with cleft lip and/or palate who receive corrective surgery regularly have abnormal growth in the midface region such that they exhibit premaxillary hypoplasia. However, there are also genetic contributions to craniofacial morphology in the midface region, so although these individuals appear to have Class III skeletal discrepancy, their molar relationship may be Class I. Past genome-wide association studies (GWASs) on skeletal Class II and III malocclusion suggested that multiple genetic markers contribute to these phenotypes via a multifactorial inheritance model, but research has yet to examine the genetic markers associated with dental Class I malocclusion. Thus, our goal was to conduct a family based GWAS to identify genes across the genome that are associated with Class I malocclusion, as defined by molar relations, in humans with and without clefts. METHODS Our cohort consisted of 739 individuals from 47 Filipino families originally recruited in 2006 to investigate the genetic basis of orofacial clefts. All individuals supplied blood samples for DNA extraction and genotyping, and a 5,766 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) custom panel was used for the analyses. We performed a transmission disequilibrium test for participants with and without clefts to identify genetic contributors potentially involved with Class I malocclusion. RESULTS In the total cohort, 13 SNPs had associations that reached the genomic control threshold (p < 0.005), while five SNPs were associated with Class I in the cohort of participants without clefts, including four associations that were identified in the total cohort. The associations for the SNPs ABCA4 rs952499, SOX1-OT rs726455, and RORA rs877228 are of particular interest, as past research found associations between these genes and various craniofacial phenotypes, including cleft lip and/or palate. CONCLUSIONS These findings support the multifactorial inheritance model for dental Class I malocclusion and suggest a common genetic basis for different aspects of craniofacial development.

Abstract
Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) are serine/threonine protein kinases that play a crucial role in transmitting extracellular signals to the intracellular environment, influencing a wide range of cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, metabolic activities, immune function and stress response. MAPK4, a non-classical MAPK, is frequently overexpressed in various malignancies, including prostate, breast, cervix, thyroid, and gliomas. It orchestrates cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis via the AKT/mTOR and/or PDK1 signaling pathways, thus facilitating tumor cell growth. Furthermore, MAPK4 expression is closely associated with the effectiveness of specific inhibitors like PI3K and PARP1, and also correlate with the survival rates of cancer patients. Increasing evidence highlights MAPK4's involvement in the tumor microenvironment, modulating immune response and inflammation-related diseases. This review comprehensively explores the structure, function, and oncogenic role of MAPK4, providing a deeper understanding of its activation and mechanisms of action in tumorigenesis, which might be helpful for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies for cancer management.

Abstract
Oral clefts, including cleft lip (CL), cleft palate (CP), and cleft lip and palate (CLP), are the most common types of congenital anomalies of the human face. Various genetic and environmental factors play a role in developing oral clefts. Several studies have shown the association of the
PAX7
gene and the 8q24 region with these oral clefts in different populations worldwide. However, there are no reported studies on the possible connection between the
PAX7
gene and the 8q24 region nucleotide variants and the risk of developing nonsyndromic oral clefts (NSOC) in the Indian population. Hence, this study aimed to test the possible association between
PAX7
gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs880810, rs545793,rs80094639, and rs13251901 of the 8q24 region using a case-parent trio design. Forty case-parent trios were selected from the CLP center. Genomic DNA was isolated from the cases and their parents. The rs880810, rs545793, rs80094639, and rs13251901 were genotyped by the MassARRAY technique. PLINK software was used for statistical analysis. All the SNPs were tested for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. No statistical significance was found with any SNPs, as none of the genotyped SNPs showed a
p
-value of less than 0.05. Hence, the rs880810, rs545793, and rs80094639 of the
PAX7
gene, and rs13251901 of the 8q24 region are not associated with NSOC in the Indian population.

Abstract
Cleft lip and/or cleft palate (CL/P) is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the human face with a complex etiology involving multiple genetic and environmental factors. Several studies have shown the association of the paired box 7 ( PAX7 ) gene with CL/P in different populations worldwide. However, the current literature reveals no reported case-parent trio studies to evaluate the association between the PAX7 gene and the risk of nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) in the Indian population. Hence, the purpose of this study was to assess the PAX7 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the etiology of NSCL/P among the Indian cleft trios. Forty Indian case-parent trios of NSCL/P were included. The cases and their parents' genomic DNA were extracted. The SNPs rs9439714, rs1339062, rs6695765, rs742071, and rs618941of the PAX7 gene were genotyped using the Agena Bio MassARRAY analysis. The allelic transmission disequilibrium test was performed using PLINK software while pair-wise linkage disequilibrium by the Haploview program. The SNP rs9439714 showed evidence of association ( p -value = 0.02, odds ratio = 3) with NSCL/P. Considering the parent-of-origin effects, the SNPs rs9439714 and rs618941 showed an excess maternal transmission of allele C at rs9439714 ( p -value = 0.05) and G allele at rs618941 ( p -value = 0.04). The results of the present study suggested that the SNPs rs9439714 and rs618941 showed an excess maternal transmission of alleles suggestive of the possible role of the PAX7 gene involvement in the etiology of NSCL/P in the Indian population.

Abstract
Non-syndromic cleft lip and palate (NSCLP) is one of the most common birth defects in humans with an overall prevalence of ∼1 in 700 live births around the world. The etiology of NSCLP is complex involving multiple genes, environmental factors, and gene-to-gene interactions. Several genome-wide associations (GWA) studies have shown the association of the paired box 7 (
PAX7
) gene in the etiology of cleft lip and palate in different populations worldwide. However, there are no reported studies on the association between the rs766325 and rs4920520 polymorphisms and the risk of developing NSCLP in the Indian population. Hence, the present study aimed to test for the probable association between rs766325 and rs4920520 polymorphisms among NSCLP Indian population using a case-parent trio design. Forty case-parent trios were selected from the cleft lip and palate center based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Genomic DNA was isolated from the cases and their parents. The rs766325 and rs4920520 polymorphisms of the
PAX7
gene were analyzed for their association using the MassARRAY analysis. The statistical analysis was done using the PLINK software. The rs766325 and rs4920520 polymorphisms were tested for the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. None of the polymorphisms showed any statistical significance. Hence, the rs766325 and rs4920520 polymorphisms of the
PAX7
gene were found to be not associated with NSCLP in the Indian case-parent trios.

Abstract
Orofacial clefts (OFCs) are the most common congenital birth defects in humans and immediately recognized at birth. The etiology remains complex and poorly understood and seems to result from multiple genetic and environmental factors along with gene-environment interactions. It can be classified into syndromic (30%) and nonsyndromic (70%) clefts. Nonsyndromic OFCs include clefts without any additional physical or cognitive deficits. Recently, various genetic approaches, such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS), candidate gene association studies, and linkage analysis, have identified multiple genes involved in the etiology of OFCs. This article provides an insight into the multiple genes involved in the etiology of OFCs. Identification of specific genetic causes of clefts helps in a better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of OFC. In the near future, it helps to provide a more accurate diagnosis, genetic counseling, personalized medicine for better clinical care, and prevention of OFCs.
