| Research Abstract |
Permanent tooth agenesis is among the most common developmental anomalies.Molecular studies have shown that many genes are involved in tooth morphogenesis, and many transcription factors and signaling molecules are regulating gene expression. Dominant loss-of-function mutations in MSX1, PAX9, and AXIN2 have been implicated in familial forms of non-syndromic tooth agenesis. On the other hand, Exome sequencing has proven to be an elegant genetic tool for dissecting the molecular basis of diseases and traits. Using whole-exome sequencing, we identified novel mutations in patients with tooth agenesis of lower incisors.
