Abstract
Purpose of review: Genetic studies in humans and animal models have improved our understanding of the role of numerous genes in the etiology of nonsyndromic tooth agenesis (TA). The purpose of this review is to discuss recently identified genes potentially contributing to TA.
Recent findings: Despite research progress, understanding the genetic factors underlying nonsyndromic TA has been challenging given the genetic heterogeneity, variable expressivity, and incomplete penetrance of putatively pathogenic variants often observed associated with the condition. Next-generation sequencing technologies have provided a platform for novel gene and variant discoveries and informed paradigm-shifting concepts in the etiology of TA. This review summarizes the current knowledge on genes and pathways related to nonsyndromic TA with a focus on recently identified genes/variants. Evidence suggesting possible multi-locus variation in TA is also presented.
期刊介绍：
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of osteoporosis.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as current and future therapeutics, epidemiology and pathophysiology, and evaluation and management. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
