This study aimed to identify the genetic etiology for a consanguineous Iranian family with autosomal recessive hypocalcified AI. Materials and methods: Dental defects were characterized, and whole exome analysis conducted to search for disease-causing mutations. Minigene assay and RT-PCR were performed to evaluate molecular consequences of the identified mutation and expression of the causative gene in human dental tissues. Results: The defective enamel of erupted teeth showed extensive post-eruptive failure and discoloration. Partial enamel hypoplasia and indistinct dentino-enamel junction were evident on unerupted teeth, resembling hypocalcified AI. A novel homozygous ODAPH (previously designated C4orf26) mutation of single-nucleotide deletion (NG_032974.1:g.5103del, NM_178497.5:c.67+1del) was identified to be disease-causing. The mutation would cause a frameshift to different ODAPH transcript variant (TV) products: p.(Ala23Hisfs∗29) for TV1 and p.(Gly23Aspfs∗140) for TV2. Both dental pulps of developing and exfoliating primary teeth expressed ODAPH TV2. Conclusion: Loss-of-function ODAPH mutations can cause AI type IIIB (the hypocalcified, autosomal recessive type), rather than type IIA4 (the hypomaturation, pigmented autosomal recessive type). This study supports a hypothesis that the product of ODAPH TV2 is the single dominant ODAPH protein isoform critical for dental enamel formation and may also play an unappreciated role in development and homeostasis of dentin-pulp complex. Due to genetic heterogeneity and a nonideal genotype-phenotype correlation of AI, it is essential to perform genetic testing for patients with inherited enamel defects to make a definitive diagnosis. |
