Genetic Variants in Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Non-Receptor Type 23 Are Responsible for Mesiodens Formation [PDF]

Biology, 2023
A mesiodens is a supernumerary tooth located in the midline of the premaxilla. To investigate the genetic cause of mesiodens, clinical and radiographic examination were performed on 23 family members of a two-generation Hmong family.

DKK1 is a strong candidate for mesiodens and taurodontism

Clinical Genetics, 2023
A mutation in DKK1 gene leads to inhibitory DKK1 function, over-activation of WNT/β-catenin signaling, disruptive development of dental epithelium, and subsequent mesiodens formation.
