Conclusion U N I V E R S I T Y O F K E N T U C K Y C O L L E G E O F D E N T I S T R Y HYPODONTIA HYPODONTIA REVIEW & CANCER • Over 300 genes are involved in odontogenesis including MSX1, PAX9, and AXIN2 HYPODONTIA • Genes involved in dental development also have roles in other organs of the body Defined as the developmental absence of one or more teeth as well as variations in size, • Mutation in several genes governing tooth development have already been associated with shape, rate of dental development and eruption time. cancer • Mutations in AXIN2 cause familial tooth agenesis and predispose to colorectal cancer7 Hypodontia is the agenesis of 6 or less teeth. • AXIN2 gene is highly expressed in ovarian tissue so may play a role in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC)8 Oligodontia is the agenesis of 6 or more teeth. Anodontia is the agenesis of all teeth. • Reduced expression of PAX9 can lead to hypodontia and has been correlated with increased malignancy of dysplastic and cancerous esophageal epithelium9 2.6-11.3% reported prevelance worldwide. 78 • RUNX transcription factor family (RUNX1, 2, and 3) are involved in odontogenesis and has been Women are affected more than males at a ratio of 3:2. the most targeted genes in acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia10 Both genetic and environmental explanations for hypodontia have been reported. • RUNX2 is amplified in various cancers including osteosarcoma and may play a role in breast and prostate cancer WHAT IS WHAT IS OVARIAN CANCER? OVARIAN CANCER? • Mainly affects women over the age of 40 OVARIAN CANCER • Symptoms include: • Vaginal bleeding Ovarian cancer is a gynecological cancer that begin in the ovaries. • Pain or pressure in pelvic region or abdominal area • Back pain • Bloating 70% • Change in bathroom habits Although ovarian cancer only ranks of women • Increased risk of EOC is correlated with: 8th in most common cancer in diagnosed with • ovarian cancer Family history of ovarian cancer women…. do not survive. • Increasing age • History of breast, uterine, or colorectal cancer • Infertility …it is the 5th leading cause of cancer • Endometriosis death in women.

OVARIAN CANCER OVARIAN CANCER IN THE LITERATURE IN THE LITERATURE • Supports a possible association between hypodontia and EOC PURPOSE • Suggests hypodontia may potentially become a risk marker for future cancer development • Improved genetic screenings to identify persons at high risk for developing EOC JADA 2008; 139(2): 163-9. • Refer female patients to get earlier screenings for EOC • Compare prevalence rates • FINDINGS of hypodontia among Earlier EOC diagnosis and treatment could save many lives epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) subjects and control • Prevalence of hypodontia was 20% for EOC subjects (p< .001) subjects • Explore the possible • Reported family hx of hypodontia and ovarian cancer was higher in genetic association EOC subjects between the two phenotypes • EOC subjects were 8.1 times more likely to have hypodontia than women without EOC GENE SELECTION: PURPOSE Locus 8q24 Susceptibility Loci for Ovarian Cancer PURPOSE • Previous genome wide association study (GWAS) identified a ovarian cancer susceptiblity loci at 9q22 and found a 20% reduction in risk with each copy of the minor alleles23 To investigate whether SNP rs10088218 is genetically associated with hypodontia. • Most recent GWAS identified two new susceptibility loci for ovarian cancer • 2q31 (p= 3.8 x 10-14): rs2072590 • 8q24 (p= 8.0 x 10-15): rs10088218, rs1519682 and rs10098821 NULL • SNP rs10088218 is NOT associated with hypodontia. SNPs at these two loci showed strong support for an association with ovarian cancer with p-values Hypothesis < 0.001. (HO) • At locus 8q24, minor allele (A) of SNP rs10088218 was associated with a decreased risk for ovarian cancer SNP rs10088218 is associated with hypodontia.
