Abstract
Autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome (AD-HIES) is an inborn error of immunity (IEI) caused by a dominant-negative mutation in the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT 3). This disease is characterized by chronic eczematoid dermatitis, recurrent staphylococcal skin abscesses, pneumonia, pneumatoceles, and extremely high serum IgE levels. Loss-of-function STAT3 mutations may also result in distinct non-immunologic features such as dental, facial, skeletal, and vascular abnormalities, central nervous system malformations and an increased risk for bone fractures. Prophylactic treatment of Candida infections and prophylactic antimicrobial therapy for staphylococcal skin infections and sinopulmonary infections are essential. An awareness of the oral and maxillofacial features of HIES may facilitate early diagnosis with genetic counselling and may improve future patient care. This study describes oral, dental, and maxillofacial manifestations in 14 patients with genetically defined AD-HIES. We also review the literature and propose recommendations for the complex care of patients with this rare primary immunodeficiency.

Abstract
Like all developmental processes, odontogenesis is highly complex and dynamically regulated, with hundreds of genes co-expressed in reciprocal networks. Tooth agenesis (missing one or more/all teeth) is a common human craniofacial anomaly and may be caused by genetic variations and/or environmental factors. Variants in PAX9, MSX1, AXIN2, EDA, EDAR, and WNT10A genes are associated with tooth agenesis. Currently, variants in ATF1, DUSP10, CASC8, IRF6, KDF1, GREM2, LTBP3, and components and regulators of WNT signaling WNT10B, LRP6, DKK, and KREMEN1 are at the forefront of interest. Due to the interconnectedness of the signaling pathways of carcinogenesis and odontogenesis, tooth agenesis could be a suitable marker for early detection of cancer predisposition. Variants in genes associated with tooth agenesis could serve as prognostic or therapeutic targets in cancer. This review aims to summarize existing knowledge of development and clinical genetics of teeth. Concurrently, the review proposes possible approaches for future research in this area, with particular attention to roles in monitoring, early diagnosis and therapy of tumors associated with defective tooth development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate possible associations of the five DNA polymorphic genotypes in the HLA region (transporter associated with antigen processing [TAP1; TAP1 333 a/b, TAP1 637 c/d], the HLA-DRB1*1501-rs3135388, tumor necrosis factor [TNF]α [-238 G/A] and NcoI TNFβ) with characteristics of family history in patients with psoriasis vulgaris. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 201 Czech patients with psoriasis were enrolled in the study. The patients were genotyped for the five common polymorphisms in TAP1, TNFα, and TNFβ genes (6p21.3) using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism-based methodology. RESULTS We observed significantly higher prevalence of Ile333Ile TAP1 allele in patients whose first-degree relatives had a positive family history of psoriasis (Pa = 0.04). No differences related to family history of psoriasis were observed in HLA-DRB1*1501 polymorphism. As for the TNFα (-238 G/A) polymorphism, a significant increase of the GG genotype was observed in patients, especially men with second- and third-degree relatives with psoriasis (Pg = 0.008). Similarly, the B2B2 genotype of NcoI TNFβ polymorphism was more frequent in psoriatic patients, especially women, whose second- and third-degree relatives had psoriasis (Pg = 0.004). Finally, the haplotype analysis of all five polymorphisms revealed that the frequency of haplotype bcCB1A was different between not only men and women with psoriasis (P = 0.007) but also between men and women without a family history of psoriasis (P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS Haplotype association of HLA gene polymorphisms with genealogy aspects of psoriasis facilitates a better understanding of etiopathogenetic aspects of the diseases.

Abstract
The aims of this retrospective computed tomography (CT) study were to determine the occurrence of severe root resorption involving the pulpal canal of adjacent permanent teeth associated with ectopically erupting canines, and to verify the existence of related factors. The sample consisted of 255 consecutive patients (159 females and 96 males, mean age 18.4 and 16.8 years, respectively). Three hundred and thirty-four ectopic maxillary canines and adjacent teeth were analysed using CT images. Statistical significance was evaluated with chi-square and Fisher's exact tests. The results showed that severe root resorption of adjacent permanent teeth occurred in 17.7 per cent of ectopic canines and was equally common in females and males. Severe root resorption affected 12.6 per cent of the lateral incisors, 4.8 per cent of the first premolars, and 2.1 per cent of the central incisors. No relationship was found between the type or side of ectopic eruption, inclination of the longitudinal axis of the ectopic canine and the occurrence of severe root resorption. A significant relationship was found between a bucco-lingual position of the ectopic canine and root resorption (P < 0.05). Root resorption mainly occurred in the apical third (57.6 per cent) and apical and middle thirds (27.1 per cent). A significant relationship existed between the occurrence of root resorption and complete loss of space for the erupting canine (P < 0.05). No association was found between alignment of the upper permanent incisor and root resorption. A widened dental follicle occurred in 15 per cent of ectopic canines but did not cause root resorption of the adjacent permanent teeth. Since root resorption is asymptomatic, early detection by radiographic examination is essential for correct diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) gene codes a cationic protein released from the specific granules of activated eosinophils. Eosinophil granulocytes play a central role in the protection of organisms against parasites. They are also regarded as key effector cells in allergic inflammation. We attempted to determine the polymorphisms in the EPO gene typical for the Czech population and to analyze their associations with allergic rhinitis and its intermediary phenotypes. METHODS We sequenced all 12 exons of the EPO gene, and selected variants were subsequently analyzed by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism methods in a case-control study comprising a total of 613 subjects (319 controls and 294 patients with rhinitis). RESULTS In total, 5 polymorphisms (-1710T/C and -1710T/CTCC, 2649T/C, 3097A/G and 3979A/G) were found in the EPO gene. Polymorphisms 2649T/C and 3097A/G were in complete linkage disequilibrium (D' = 1 for both groups), and both of them were in a strong disequilibrium with the 3979A/G variant (D' = 0.801 for controls, D' = 0.848 for rhinitics). Consequently, these 3 polymorphisms were studied in association with the allergic phenotype. In a single locus analysis, only 3979A/G single nucleotide polymorphism was marginally significantly associated with rhinitis (p = 0.030, p(corr )> 0.05). This polymorphism also showed a marginal association with total serum IgE levels (log(e) IgE, mean +/- SD: genotypes GG = 2.60 +/- 1.20; GA = 2.47 +/- 1.88; AA = 2.38 +/- 1.49; p < 0.05). Furthermore, significant differences in haplotype frequencies between patients and healthy subjects were observed (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our study supports the hypothesis that genetic variability in the EPO gene may contribute to the susceptibility to allergic rhinitis (or related phenotypes) in the Czech population.

Abstract
The study aimed to examine an association of three different single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the IL-18 gene (-607 C/A, -137 G/C and -133 C/G) on chromosome 11q22 with allergic rhinitis (AR). Genotyping for the SNPs was performed using 539 patients with AR and 312 healthy control volunteers. Positivity to the skin prick test for the fungus Alternaria sp. in patients with AR, and IgE levels according to particular genotypes of selected SNPs, were also determined. There were no significant differences in the distribution of single IL-18 alleles or genotypes between controls and AR patients. However, frequencies of combined IL-18 genotypes arising from combinations of the three common polymorphisms (-607, -137 and -133) were significantly different between both groups (P = 0.009, P (corr) < 0.05, OR = 5.35, 95% CI: 1.9-15.2). There was a marginally significant association of the IL-18-607 variant with IgE levels (P = 0.05) in patients, but not in the case of the other SNPs. Patients allergic to Alternaria, but not those allergic to other antigens, showed a significant association with the IL-18-607 polymorphism (P = 0.0037, P (corr) < 0.05). Results suggest that IL-18 gene variants may be one of the factors participating in the pathogenesis of AR or its intermediary phenotypes.

Abstract
Angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) is involved not only in intracellular volume regulation but also in proliferation control. Since both ACE gene polymorphism (I/D ACE) and ABO blood group determine ACE level in peripheral blood and probably also in bone marrow, the hypothesis to the interindividual differences in survival of leukemic patients was suggested. The data of 25 patients of both sexes with acute myelogenous (AML), acute lymphatic (ALL), chronic myelogenous (CML) and chronic lymphatic (CLL) leukemia treated by conventional were used for the study. The overall survival (SUR) was estimated as the time from the date of diagnosis to the date of death. The difference between patient's individual SUR (iSUR) and median SUR according to the type of leukemia (mSUR) was calculated. This difference (iSUR-mSUR) varied with I/D ACE genotype (p<0.02) but neither with diagnosis nor with ABO blood group. The regression model for iSUR calculation, from mSUR and I/D ACE genotype, has been suggested.

Abstract
Previous studies of the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene in sarcoidosis have revealed both ethnic heterogeneity of I/D frequencies and controversy surrounding the association between the polymorphism and severity of disease. The objective of this study was, therefore, to clarify the role of the ACE I/D polymorphism in (1) disease susceptibility, (2) pulmonary disease severity (with particular reference to pulmonary fibrosis), and (3) pulmonary disease progression, in two distinct European sarcoidosis populations. Standard chest radiographic staging was performed on 118 UK and 56 Czech white patients with sarcoidosis at 2 yr from presentation. Pulmonary function data were analyzed, and patients were then categorized according to disease severity. A PCR-SSP assay was used to determine the ACE I/D genotype of each patient studied. The I/D allele frequencies from these patients were compared with frequencies from ethnically matched UK (n = 386) and Czech (n = 179) control subjects using a chi-square contingency table. No significant differences were seen in the distribution of the ACE I/D genotypes, allele frequencies or phenotype frequencies. Furthermore, no association was found between the ACE I/D polymorphism and pulmonary disease severity, fibrosis, and progression. We conclude that the ACE I/D polymorphism has no role in sarcoidosis susceptibility in European whites and that it is not a regulatory variant in this disease.
