The Role of MSX1 in Human Tooth Agenesis [PDF]
MSX1 has a critical role in craniofacial development, as indicated by expression assays and transgenic mouse phenotypes. Previously, MSX1 mutations have been identified in three families with autosomal-dominant tooth agenesis. To test the hypothesis that MSX1 mutations are a common cause of congenital tooth agenesis, we screened 92 affected individuals,

Detection of a rare AXIN2 variant in an Iranian family with hypodontia and oligodontia [PDF]
Background. Hypodontia, or the absence of one or more teeth during tooth formation, is a highly prevalent dental anomaly. Nevertheless, the main causes are still unknown.

70759 Jaw-specific control of Msx1-dependent odontogenesis by Dkk2 and Sostdc1
IMPACT: Our proposed jaw-specific control mechanism of tooth development is expected to address the site-specific prevalence of tooth agenesis in humans. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To determine the molecular mechanisms that control jaw-specific tooth development.

p75NTR Promotes Circadian-Driven Mineralization During Tooth Development via CK2/PER2 Pathway. [PDF]
The diagram illustrates how the circadian rhythm regulates the p75NTR‐CK2‐PER2 axis, driving rhythmic biomineralisation during tooth development. ABSTRACT Circadian rhythm is an essential biological process that synchronises physiological activities with environmental light/dark cycles.

Emerin anchors Msx1 and its protein partners at the nuclear periphery to inhibit myogenesis
Background Previous studies have shown that in myogenic precursors, the homeoprotein Msx1 and its protein partners, histone methyltransferases and repressive histone marks, tend to be enriched on target myogenic regulatory genes at the nuclear periphery.

An aberrant splice acceptor site due to a novel intronic nucleotide substitution in MSX1 gene is the cause of congenital tooth agenesis in a Japanese family. [PDF]
Congenital tooth agenesis is caused by mutations in the MSX1, PAX9, WNT10A, or AXIN2 genes. Here, we report a Japanese family with nonsyndromic tooth agenesis caused by a novel nucleotide substitution in the intronic region between exons 1 and 2 of the ...

A Nonsense Mutation in MSX1 Causes Witkop Syndrome [PDF]
Witkop syndrome, also known as tooth and nail syndrome (TNS), is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. Affected individuals have nail dysplasia and several congenitally missing teeth. To identify the gene responsible for TNS, we used candidate-gene linkage analysis in a three-generation family affected by the disorder.

Msx1 haploinsufficiency modifies the Pax9-deficient cardiovascular phenotype [PDF]
Abstract Background Successful embryogenesis relies on the coordinated interaction between genes and tissues. The transcription factors Pax9 and Msx1 genetically interact during mouse craniofacial morphogenesis, and mice deficient for either gene display abnormal tooth and palate development.

Msx1is required for dorsal diencephalon patterning [PDF]
The dorsal midline of the neural tube has recently emerged as a major signaling center for dorsoventral patterning. Msx genes are expressed at the dorsal midline, although their function at this site remains unknown. Using Msx1nlacZ mutant mice, we show that the normal expression domain of Msx1 is interrupted in the pretectum of mutant embryos ...
