Background: MSX1 (OMIM #142983) is crucial to normal dental development, and variants in MSX1 are associated with dental anomalies. The objective of this study was to characterize the pathogenicity of novel MSX1 variants in Chinese families with non-syndromic oligodontia (NSO).
Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from individuals representing 35 families with non-syndromic oligodontia and was analyzed by Sanger sequencing and whole-exome sequencing. Pathogenic variants were screened via analyses involving PolyPhen-2, Sorting-Intolerant from Tolerant, and MutationTaster, and conservative analysis of variants. Patterns of MSX1-related NSO were analyzed. MSX1 structural changes suggested functional consequences in vitro.
Results: Three previously unreported MSX1 heterozygous variants were identified: one insertion variant (c.576_577insTAG; p.Gln193*) and two missense variants (c. 871T>C; p.Tyr291His and c. 644A>C; p.Gln215Pro). Immunofluorescence analysis revealed abnormal subcellular localization of the p.Gln193* MSX1 variant. In addition, we found that these MSX1 variants likely lead to the loss of second premolars.
Conclusion: Three novel MSX1 variants were identified in Chinese Han families with NSO, expanding the MSX1 variant spectrum and presenting a genetic origin for the pathogenesis detected in patients and their families.

Background: Tooth agenesis is the most frequently occurring genetic developmental anomaly in clinical dentistry. The gene, essential for tooth development, has been associated with non-syndromic tooth agenesis. This study aims to identify novel variants associated with this condition and to understand their impact on tooth development.

Introduction And Objectives: Non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFCs) are complex congenital abnormalities involving both environmental and genetic factors involved in orofacial development. This study aimed to investigate the genetic association of specific genetic variants at different CYRIA gene loci with the development of NSOFCs in Kuwait.
Methods: Four genetic variants (rs7552, rs3758249, rs3821949, and rs3917201) at four selected gene loci (CYRIA, FOXE1, MSX1, and TGFB3) were genotyped in a total of 240 DNA samples (patients (n = 114) and random controls (n = 126)) employing TaqMan® allele discrimination assay.

Deciduous tooth agenesis is a severe craniofacial developmental defect because it affects masticatory function from infancy and may result in delayed growth and development. Here, we aimed to identify the crucial pathogenic genes and clinical features of patients with deciduous tooth agenesis. We recruited 84 patients with severe deciduous tooth agenesis.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between variants present in the MSX1 gene and the risk of developing non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL±P) among individuals of Malay ethnicity in Malaysia.
Materials And Methods: This case-control study involved 89 patients with NSCL±P and 100 healthy control subjects. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed on both exon 1 and exon 2 of the MSX1 gene using four pairs of primers.

Article Synopsis
- Hypodontia is a dental condition where some teeth are missing, and it's often caused by genes.
- This study looked at how certain gene changes (called SNPs) relate to hypodontia in people from Saudi Arabia by checking saliva samples from 106 participants.
- The results showed that specific gene variations (especially in a gene called AXIN2) are linked to a higher chance of missing certain teeth, and using machines to analyze data can help identify people at risk for this condition.
