| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tooth agenesis is one of the most common human developmental anomalies. Molecular analyses have previously successfully elucidated the genetic background of severe forms of selective tooth agenesis. Here, we report on the genomic analysis of the selective agenesis of one or two mandibular incisors using exome sequencing. Patients with nonsyndromic mandibular incisor(s) agenesis were found to harbor mutations in cadherin-related 23 (CDH23) after excluding genetic mutations previously associated with the nonsyndromic agenesis of multiple teeth, including those in MSX1, PAX9, AXIN2, EDA, EDAR, EDARADD, and WNT10A. Mutations in CDH23 are known to cause both Usher syndrome type 1D (USH1D) and nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNB12). The present data indicate that dominant CDH23 mutations cause a nonsyndromic phenotype affecting tooth development.
