Novel missense mutation in PAX9 gene associated with familial tooth agenesis.

Abstract excerpt

PAX9 is a transcription factor deeply involved in the gene networks that regulate odontogenesis. To date, only a restricted number of mutations in this gene have been associated with non-syndromic tooth agenesis. Six families segregating non-syndromic oligodontia/hypodontia were screened for mutations in PAX9 gene. A novel missense mutation lying in the exon 2 close to the end of the paired domain in three...
