Mutation of PAX9 is associated with oligodontia

TL;DR: A frameshift mutation in the paired domain of PAX9 is identified following genome-wide analysis of a family segregating autosomal dominant oligodontia, which has normal primary dentition but lacked most permanent molars.

The genetics of human tooth agenesis: new discoveries for understanding dental anomalies.

TL;DR: A defective gene that affects the formation of second premolars and third molars is identified and evidence is produced showing that other genetic defects also contribute to the wide range of phenotypic variability of tooth agenesis.

Hypodontia in orthodontically treated children

TL;DR: The frequency of hypodontia in orthodontically treated children, both male and female, and the association between tooth type, the upper or lower arch, the affected side and Angle's classification were studied using interviews, oral, study cast and panoramic radiographic examinations of 212 patients.

SHH mutation is associated with solitary median maxillary central incisor: a study of 13 patients and review of the literature.

TL;DR: A molecular study on a cohort of 13 SMMCI patients who did not have HPE suggests that a new missense mutation in SHH (I111F) may be specific for theSMMCI phenotype since it has not been found in the HPE population or in normal controls.
