Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have attributed non-syndromic tooth agenesis to mutations in several genes, including MSX1, PAX9, AXIN2, WNT10A and EDA. In this study, mutation of PAX9gene was investigated in a four-generation Chinese family with oligodontia. DESIGN: Genomic DNA was isolated from the blood samples of all the available family members. Candidate genes MSX1 and PAX9 were amplified using polymerase chain...
