Features include always present findings: Oligodontia; and common findings: Absent eyebrow and Sparse scalp hair. 10 total HPO annotations.
Age of onset: middle age.
AXIN2 encodes axin 2 (843 aa). Inhibitor of the Wnt signaling pathway. Down-regulates beta-catenin. Probably facilitate the phosphorylation of beta-catenin and APC by GSK3B Highest expression in Uterus (47.6 TPM) and Fallopian Tube (39.3 TPM).
Oligodontia-cancer predisposition syndrome is caused by mutations in the AXIN2 gene on chromosome 17.
The AXIN2 protein participates in pT41,S45-CTNNB1 S37C, pS45-CTNNB1 T41I, and pS37,T41,S45-CTNNB1 S33C pathways.
AXIN2 is classified as a druggable target (Clinically Actionable, Druggable Genome, and Kinase categories) with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for AXIN2 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 1 always present feature, 2 common features.
No clinical trials have been registered for oligodontia-cancer predisposition syndrome.
2 publications have been identified in PubMed for oligodontia-cancer predisposition syndrome. Research spans Review / Meta-Analysis (50%) and Basic Science / Preclinical (50%).
