Article Synopsis
  • The Roma population, numbering between 10 to 14 million worldwide, faces unique genetic challenges due to a high level of consanguinity, resulting in specific hereditary diseases that are often underdiagnosed.
  • Recent clinical evaluations at the ERN CRANIO center in Prague have highlighted various rare genetic disorders, including congenital cataract syndrome and non-syndromic deafness linked to specific genetic mutations.
  • This study emphasizes the need for awareness and accurate diagnosis of dental issues that can aid in better treatment and management of these genetic conditions in the Czech Roma community.
