Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The MSX1 gene plays a key role in odontogenesis regulation, particularly during early stages. Since only a few genetic variants have thus far been associated with non-syndromic tooth agenesis, we screened for mutations in this gene, aiming to detect a relationship between genotype and phenotype. DESIGN: The sample consisted of one proband with non-syndromic hypodontia involving upper lateral incisors,...
