Description : Tooth agenesis in some form is a common human anomaly that affects approximately 20%
of the population. Although tooth agenesis is associated with numerous syndromes,
several case reports describe nonsyndromic forms that are either sporadic or familial
in nature, as reviewed by Gorlin et al. (1990). The incidence of familial tooth agenesis
varies with each class of teeth. Most commonly affected are third molars (wisdom teeth),
followed by either upper lateral incisors or lower second premolars; agenesis involving
first and second molars is very rare. Also see 114600 and 302400. Selective tooth
agenesis without associated systemic disorders has sometimes been divided into 2 types:
oligodontia, defined as agenesis of 6 or more permanent teeth, and hypodontia, defined
as agenesis of less than 6 teeth. The number in both cases does not include absence
of third molars (wisdom teeth). Faulty use of the terms, however, have confounded
their use. The term 'partial anodontia' is obsolete (Salinas, 1978). - Genetic Heterogeneity
of Selective Tooth Agenesis Other forms of selective tooth agenesis include STHAG2
(602639), mapped to chromosome 16q12; STHAG3 (604625), caused by mutation in the PAX9
gene (167416) on chromosome 14q12; STHAG4 (150400), caused by mutation in the WNT10A
gene (606268) on chromosome 2q35; STHAG5 (610926), mapped to chromosome 10q11; STHAG6
(613097), caused by mutation in the LTBP3 gene (602090) on chromosome 11q12; and STHAGX1
(313500), caused by mutation in the EDA gene (300451) on the X chromosome. Of 34 unrelated
patients with nonsyndromic tooth agenesis, van den Boogaard et al. (2012) found that
56% (19 patients) had mutations in the WNT10A gene (STHAG4), whereas only 3% and 9%
had mutations in the MSX1 (STHAG1) and PAX9 (STHAG3) genes, respectively. The authors
concluded that WNT10A is a major gene in the etiology of isolated hypodontia.;
