Any tooth agenesis in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the LRP6 gene.
Features include common findings: Agenesis of permanent teeth; and sometimes findings: Taurodontia.
LRP6 encodes LDL receptor related protein 6 (1,613 aa). Component of the Wnt-Fzd-LRP5-LRP6 complex that triggers beta-catenin signaling through inducing aggregation of receptor-ligand complexes into ribosome-sized signalosomes. Highest expression in Cervix Ectocervix (29.6 TPM) and Uterus (28.5 TPM).
Tooth agenesis, selective, 7 is associated with mutations in the LRP6 gene on chromosome 12.
The LRP6 protein participates in DKK promotes clathrin-dependent internalization of LRP6 and WNT3A stimulates the caveolin-dependent internalization of FZD5:p-LRP6 pathways.
LRP6 is classified as a druggable target (Cell Surface category) with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for LRP6 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for tooth agenesis, selective, 7 has been reported in the published literature.
Phenotype severity distribution: 1 common feature.
No clinical trials have been registered for tooth agenesis, selective, 7.
30 publications have been identified in PubMed for tooth agenesis, selective, 7. Research spans Review / Meta-Analysis (27%), Epidemiology / Natural History (27%), and Basic Science / Preclinical (23%).
