Single median maxillary central incisor syndrome and variant in SMO gene associated with SHH pathway

2020 
Solitary median maxillary central incisor syndrome (SMMCI) is a rare congenital oronasal-dental midline anomaly. The aim of this paper is a presentation of a patient with SMMCI without other visible dentofacial anomalies, with a potentially new molecular etiology consisting of a gene-gene reaction and conservative therapeutic approach to nasal obstruction. Potentially pathogenic variants in the SMO gene (p.Gly422Glu) and in P2RY13 gene (p.Trp205*) inherited from the probant's father, and in the PLD2 gene (p.Gln319fs), inherited from the mother were found. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary for the management of patients with SMMCI, including a genetic consultation with genetic tests.
