Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the association of MSX1 rs12532 polymorphism with the risk of nonsyndromic unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (NSCLP) and tooth agenesis.

Materials and methods: The study is comprised of 384 individuals divided into 4 groups: group 1, patients with unilateral complete NSCLP and premolar agenesis (n = 57); group 2, patients with unilateral NSCLP without tooth agenesis (n = 117); group 3, patients with premolar agenesis without oral cleft (n = 53) and group 4 (n = 157), a control group with individuals without tooth agenesis and oral cleft. Genotyping of rs12532 was carried out with Taqman chemistry, and associations were investigated using logistic regression analyses.

Results: Overall rs12532 allele and genotype distributions revealed no significant differences between the groups of NSCLP or tooth agenesis.

Conclusion: Although our results are consistent with a lack of association of MSX1 rs12532 and the risk of unilateral NSCLP and tooth agenesis, further studies with additional SNPs and a more diverse ethnic cohort are warranted.
