Craniofacial variations in the tricho-dento-osseous syndrome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tricho-dento-osseous (TDO) syndrome is an autosomal dominant trait characterized by curly kinky hair at birth, enamel hypoplasia, taurodontism, thickening of cortical bones and variable expression of craniofacial morphology. Genetic studies have identified a 4-bp deletion in the DLX3 gene that is associated with TDO; however, phenotypic characterization and classification of TDO remains unclear in the literature. This study compares the craniofacial variations between 53 TDO-affected subjects and 34 unaffected family members. Standardized cephalograms were obtained and digitized. Cephalometric measurements were analyzed using a general linear model with family as a random effect. Numerous craniofacial measurements from both groups showed marked variability. TDO-affected subjects showed a Class III skeletal pattern (smaller SNA and ANB angles), longer mandibular corpus length (GoGn) and shorter ramus height (p < 0.05).

Tricho-dento-osseous syndrome (TDO), MIM# 190320, is transmitted as a highly penetrant autosomal dominant trait that is characterized by variable clinical expression. The principal clinical features include kinky/curly hair in infancy, enamel hypoplasia, taurodontism, as well as increased thickness and density of cranial bones. Possible genetic linkage has been reported for TDO with the ABO blo...

Tricho-dento-osseous syndrome (TDO), an uncommon form of ectodermal dysplasia is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder which is characterized by inherited defects in tissues arising from epithelial-mesenchymal interaction. Genetic studies have revealed that it is caused by mutation in the DLX3 gene. TDO presents with a great phenotypic heterogeneity and studies have suggested that this heterog...
