ABSTRACT
Congenital tooth agenesis is a common anomaly in human development. We performed exome sequence analysis of genomic DNA collected from Japanese patients with tooth agenesis and their relatives. We found a novel single-nucleotide insertion in the LRP6 gene, the product of which is involved in Wnt/ß-catenin signaling as a coreceptor for Wnt ligands. The single-nucleotide insertion results in a premature stop codon in the extracellular region of the encoded protein.
