Dental phenotype analysis of patients with EDA genovariation related selective tooth agenesis
Objective:To analyze the dental phenotypes of patients with EDA genovariation related selective tooth agenesis.Meth-ods:We summarized the selective tooth agenesis patients with EDA genovariation,based on literature published before April 2023.The literature search was conducted using PubMed and multiple Chinese databases.The total number and the percentages of missing teeth were analyzed.The dental phenotype between male and female patients were compared.Results:EDA related selective tooth a-genesis mainly affects mandibular incisors(47.7%),mandibular and maxillary lateral incisors(41.6%and 40.1%respectively),while molars are seldom affected.Additionally,male patients were more affected than female and have more missing teeth.Conclusion:Dental phenotype analysis of EDA variants might contribute to precise prediction of causative genes from phenotype of missing teeth and guide for genetic counseling.
