Recessive oligodontia linked to a homozygous loss-of-function mutation in the SMOC2 gene.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Recently, several genes have been reported with mutations or variants that underlie a number of syndromic and non-syndromic forms of oligodontia including MSX1, PAX9, AXIN2, EDA and WNT10A. This study aimed to identify the causal mutations in a consanguineous Pakistan family with oligodontia and microdontia. DESIGN: Exome sequencing was performed in two of affected members of the Pakistan family....
