DD type II is also inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and is associated with mutations in the DSPP gene. Clinically, this condition presents with similar features as Shield type II DGI, but it exclusively affects deciduous (baby) teeth, while the permanent teeth appear normal in colour, shape and height(7).
Management: similar to AI, treatment usually involves using crowns, over- dentures and dental
implants to maintain facial height and improve aesthetics and function(7).
16.2.3  Ectodermal Dysplasia
Ectodermal dysplasias (ED) are a diverse group of approximately 100inherited disorders identified by aberrations in at least two structures derived from embryonic ectoderm. ED can involve skin appendages (hair, nails, sweat glands), teeth, inner ear, retina, optic lens, etc. The global prevalence of ED is approximately 7in 10,000. The most prevalent type is hypohydrotic ED, which is fre­quently X- linked with full expression seen only in males(17).
Clinical Features: The characteristic feature of ED is hypohidrosis, which is inadequate sweating,
leading to frequent episodes of unexplained fever. Due to the partial or complete absence of sweat and sebaceous glands, the affected individual has smooth, dry and thin skin. Scalp hair is usually blonde, fine and short, while axillary and pubic hair is frequently sparse. Eyebrows and eyelashes are commonly missing(17).
The most important feature of ED is oligodontia of primary and secondary dentition (Figure16.6). The number of missing dentitions varies widely, with a higher incidence in the mandible. Moreover, the present dentition has an abnormal crown form, with most anterior teeth conical(17).
Pathogenesis: The causative gene has been identified in approximately 30 different types of ED
conditions(18). Hyperhidrotic (or anhidrotic) ED (HED) is the most common form of ED and can be inherited through X- linked, autosomal recessive, or autosomal dominant patterns. Spontaneous gene mutations are also possible and may occur in families without any syndrome history. Mutations in the EDA, EDAR and EDARADD genes are responsible for causing HED. EDA is the sole gene associated with X- linked HED and is present in 95% of patients.

EDAR and EDARADD are linked to both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive forms of HED, accounting for 5% of HED cases(17).
The EDA, EDAR and EDARADD genes provide instructions for producing proteins, particularly ectodysplasin A, which play critical roles during embryonic development. Mutations in these genes result in defective ectodysplasin production. EDA, for instance, encodes ectodysplasin- A (EDA), a protein crucial for the normal development of ectodermal appendages, including hair, teeth and sweat glands. EDA also plays a significant role in the NFκβ pathway, which involves multiple downstream genes essential for embryogenesis(19).
EDAR contains a single transmembrane domain and is likely to function as a multimeric receptor related to the TNFR family. Mutated EDA or EDAR cannot effectively bind with ectod­ysplasin. On the other hand, the protein encoded by EDARADD resembles the death domain, MYD88, a cytoplasmic transducer of Toll/interleukin receptor signalling. It is co- expressed with the TNF receptor superfamily member EDAR in epithelial cells during hair follicles and teeth formation. EDARADD interacts with the death domain of EDAR and links the receptor to sig­nalling pathways(20).
WNT10A is a recently discovered gene contributing to the pathogenesis of HED. WNT10A encodes a peptide with two N- linked glycosylation sites and conserved residues among WNT pro­teins(21). This protein contains two domains: a signal peptide and a Wnt domain. It encodes a secreted signalling molecule involved in various developmental processes, such as regulating cell fate and pattern during embryogenesis. WNT10A and WNT10B are highly expressed in embryonic skin and the placodes involved in tooth development. The mechanism behind the disease depends on the specific variant and the resulting protein changes, which can lead to a loss of function or a dominant- negative effect. EDA pathogenic variants result in a loss of function, EDAR variants causing autosomal recessive HED exhibit a loss of function, and those associated with autosomal dominant HED show a dominant- negative effect(22). Pathogenic variants in WNT10A seem to affect protein folding or stabilisation(21). EDARADDpathogenic variants can lead to a dominant­negative or loss- of- function effect depending on the specific variant(23).
251
Management: depends on the severity of ED and is based on age, growth and development of the
stomatognathic system. Denture fabrication may be the initial step to replace missing primary dentition. Once the secondary dentition has fully developed, the removable prosthesis can be replaced with a fixed prosthesis, depending on the number and position of the teeth(17). Dental implant placement is another option for replacement of missing dentition in ED with a high success rate, especially in children above 13 years of age(24).
16.2.4  Cleidocranial Dysplasia
Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an uncommon but well- recognised autosomal dominant skeletal disorder. CCD affects the development of both bones and teeth. As high as 40% of patients have no family history of CCD and seemingly represent new gene mutations. The global prevalence of CCD is around 1 per million, with no preference for specific gender or ethnicity(25).
Clinical Features: Clavicle hypoplasia and delayed fusion of the anterior fontanelle are
significant features of CCD. The absent/incomplete clavicles allow undue mobility of the shoulders, leading to anterior displacement (Figure16.7). Affected individuals have charac­teristic facial features, including an enlarged forehead, hypertelorism and midface hypoplasia(26).

teeth (hyperdontia), which can involve primary and secondary dentition (Figure16.8). Hyperdontia leads to multiple impactions, overcrowding and malocclusion, while midface hypoplasia can further exacerbate the situation. In addition, teeth crowns may appear abnor­mal, while enamel may be hypoplastic. Dentigerous cysts and taurodontia are common findings(26).
Pathogenesis: CCD is an autosomal dominant skeletal

CCD patients have characteristic supernumerary
disorder characterised by complete penetrance but notable phenotypic variability, even among individu­als within the same family(27). The range of pheno­types spans from mild cases with dental abnormalities as the sole manifestation to severe cases encompass­ing all features of CCD, coupled with generalised osteoporosis. Researchers have pinpointed the CCD locus to chromosome 6p21 (28). The primary cause of CCD has been attributed to heterozygous muta­tions affecting the Runt- related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2, also known as CBFA1)(29). RUNX2 is criti­cal in a transcription factor complex vital for osteo­blast and chondrocyte differentiation and overall skeletal development(30).
The expression of RUNX2in mesenchymal cell lines leads to the upregulation of genes associated with osteoblast function, such as osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase, collagenase- 3 (MMP- 13), bone sialoprotein and collagen type 1, alpha- 1(31, 32). In patients with CCD, a multitude of RUNX2 mutations have been identified, with the majority falling into categories like missense, nonsense and frameshift mutations(33, 34). Some individuals also exhibit chromosomal abnormalities, splic­ing mutations and intragenic deletions/duplications (35). However, in approximately 20– 30% of CCD cases, no RUNX2 abnormalities are detected, leaving the underlying cause unidentified(36).

Management: There are numerous protocols for the dental management of CCD. Multi- disciplinary
care is vitally important and aimed at removing retained primary and supernumerary teeth to aid the eruption of secondary dentition. Surgical exposure and orthodontic- aided eruption are often required. Orthodontic alignment and palatal expansion form part of the final treatment phase, along with prosthodontic rehabilitation of edentulous spaces(26).
16.3   Heritable Diseases Affecting theOro- Facial Soft Tissue
16.3.1  Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis
Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder denoted by benign,non- haemorrhagic, fibrous gingival overgrowth that can present sporadically or as part of a syndrome. The prevalence of HGF is approximately 1in 175,000(37).
Clinical Features: clinical features gingiva has a rosy colour and fibrous texture with significant
stippling but no sign of inflammation (Figure16.9). It can be localised or generalised and may cover the dentition wholly or partially with variable degrees of severity and may prevent erup­tion. The underlying alveolar bone is not involved, but HGF usually hinders speech, lip closure and mastication. Of more significance is the psychological burden the patient suffers, which can affect their self- esteem(37).
Pathogenesis: HGF is the most prevalent genetic manifestation of gingival fibromatosis, typically
inherited in an autosomal- dominant manner. However, sporadic and autosomal- recessive inheritance patterns have been documented(38). While HGF can be a standalone condition, it can also manifest within syndromes such as Cowden’s syndrome (39), Zimmerman- Laband syndrome(40), Rutherford syndrome(41) and Costello syndrome(42). Additionally, it may arise due to factors like inadequate oral hygiene leading to gingival inflammation, as well as during puberty pregnancy, or as a side effect of common medications such as calcium channel blockers like nifedipine and verapamil(43).
253
Researchers have identified four specific loci (2p22.1, 2p23.3- p22.3, 5q13- q22 and 11p15)
associated with HGF(44– 46). The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of HGF remain

largely unclear. However, the condition may be attributed to excessive production of extracel­lular matrix components, notably collagen type I (COL1A1), contributing to the overgrowth of gingival fibroblasts(47). Overexpression of TGF- β1 and IL- 6in gingival fibroblasts could poten- tially play a pivotal role in enhancing COL1A1 synthesis alongside other specific growth factors(48).
Furthermore, a transcriptomic analysis conducted on HGF patients and controls by Han etal. in 2019 revealed that the regulatory network connection between the TGF- β/SMAD signalling path- way and craniofacial development processes contributes to the molecular mechanism underlying the clinical- pathological manifestations of HGF.
Management: The treatment of choice for HGF is gingivectomy, as this condition does not resolve
spontaneously. The ideal timing to perform surgery is following the eruption of the secondary dentition to prevent recurrence. However, performing surgery at earlier ages may be warranted to avoid adverse psychological effects and functional difficulties(41).
16.3.2  Neurofibromatosis
Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a collection of autosomal dominant disorders identified by numerous cutaneous lesions and tumours of the nervous system. NF is divided into two genetically distinct entities, namely NF type- 1 (NF- 1) and NF type- 2 (NF- 2). NF- 1 or von Recklinghausen disease is the most frequent subtype of NF, with a prevalence of approximately 1 in 3500 individuals globally(49).
Clinical Features: patients with NF- 1 classically display brown, ovoid cutaneous macules of
approximately 10– 40 mm. The presence of six or more macules is one of the diagnostic criteria for NF- 1 (Table 16.2). Almost 90% of patients with NF- 1 display characteristic axillary and inguinal freckling following cutaneous macules’ development. Other classical features of NF- 1include neurofibromas around peripheral nerves and Lisch nodules (pigmented hamar­tomas of the iris)(49).
NF- 2 is less prevalent than NF- 1, with an estimated frequency of 1in 25,000individuals. Abrupt hearing loss due to the development of vestibular schwannomas is frequently an early sign in patients with NF- 2. These tumours can cause nerve compression and result in a significant amount of pain, nerve dysfunction and raised intracranial pressure(49).

Approximately 72% of patients with NF- 1 present with oral manifestations, including gingival enlargement, supernumerary teeth, impacted teeth, missing teeth and overgrowth of the alveolus. The development of neurofibromas is a distinctive feature of NF- 1 and, to a lesser extent, NF- 2. In the oral cavity, neurofibromas commonly involve the tongue and are nodular. Involvement of facial bones is also part of the diagnostic criteria for NF- 1 (Figure16.10). Bony lesions such as neurofibromas may involve sphenoid wing, orbits, maxilla and mandible (Figure16.11)(49).
Pathogenesis: NF1 is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant manner; however, as many as
50% of cases result from de novo mutations(51). The NF1 gene is located on chromosome locus 17q11.2, and its gene product is known as neurofibromin(52). Neurofibromin functions as a tumour suppressor gene within the RAS- mediated signalling pathway. By deactivating RAS­GTP, neurofibromin downregulates pathways related to cell proliferation, including mitogen­activating protein kinase (MAPK), MAPK/extracellular signal- regulated kinase (ERK) and the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)- mediated protein kinase A pathway(53).

with NF1have impaired neurofibromin function, leading to uncontrolled activation of RAS­GTP pathways. Furthermore, the mTOR pathway is upregulated, which promotes malignant development(54, 55).
NF2 follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern and arises from a loss- of- function mutation in the NF2 gene on chromosome 22. This gene encodes a tumour suppressor protein known as merlin, a member of the band 4.1 family of cytoskeleton- associated proteins called the ERM family(56). Tumourigenesis is initiated only when both copies of the gene are inactivated, aligning with the classic ‘two- hit’ hypothesis of tumorigenesis proposed by Knudson in 1971. Merlin, the NF2 protein, is expressed in various tissues, including neurons, Schwann cells and meningeal cells. Under normal circumstances, merlin plays a crucial role by binding to trans­membrane adhesion molecules like CD44 (hyaluronate receptor) and cytoskeleton components (β- actin, microtubules, β- spectrin)(57). Consequently, NF2 protein disrupts cell adhesion, motil­ity and spreading properties, all essential for tumour formation.
Management: The goal of NF management is early recognition of the condition and treatment of
potential complications. Surgical excision of disfiguring or uncomfortable cutaneous or subcu­taneous neurofibromas is usually indicated. Neurofibroma arising within the oro- facial usually requires excision to prevent further destruction of adjacent structures and avoid malignant transformation. Treatment of optic gliomas is unnecessary, mainly as the lesions are frequently asymptomatic and clinically stable. Annual physical examination is essential, as well as oph­thalmologic examination in children annually(58).
16.4   Heritable Diseases Affecting theOro- Facial Hard Tissue
16.4.1  Naevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome
Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is a rare autosomal dominant entity first described by Gorlin and Goltz in 1960. It features multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), odonto­genic keratocysts (OKCs) and skeletal anomalies. The estimated prevalence is 1in 57,000– 1 in 164,000with no gender predilection(59).
Clinical Features: BCCs typically develop early (during puberty) and frequently affect the face, trunk
and limbs (Figure16.12). Multiple OKCs are a distinct feature of NBCCS and may be the first presenting feature which can be an incidental finding (Figure16.13). OKCs may develop as early as the first decade of life, and patients tend to develop newer lesions with increasing age. Other common skeletal features include palmar and plantar pits, bifid ribs (Figure16.14), spine abnor­malities and calcification of falx cerebri(60).
Diagnostic criteria for NBCCS necessitates the presence of two major or one major and two minor criteria (Table16.3). The presence of one major criterion with molecular confirmation is also diagnostic. Diagnostic work- up for patients suspected of having NBCCS should include a com­plete dermatological exam and panoramic radiograph, MRI brain, cardiac ultrasound, pelvic ultra­sound (if female) and spine radiograph(61).
Pathogenesis: NBCCS is inherited as an autosomal dominant pattern(61, 62). The causative gene
for this disorder is PTCH1, which serves as a human homologue of the Drosophila segment polarity gene known as patched (PATCH1). PTCH1 is mapped to chromosome 9q22.3- q31 and

comprises 23 exons encoding a protein of 1447 amino acids(63). The PTCH1 protein functions as a receptor for Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) and consists of 12 transmembrane domains. Sonic hedgehog is a secreted molecule implicated in forming embryonic structures and tumourigen­esis(62). Individuals affected by NBCCS inherit one non- functional copy of PTCH1 and subse­quently acquire a ‘second- hit’ mutation, activating the Sonic Hedgehog pathway and developing basal cell carcinoma(60).
In the absence of the hedgehog ligand protein, PTCH1, a membrane- bound protein, maintains smoothened transmembrane protein (SMO), which resembles a G protein- coupled receptor- like molecule, in an active and unphosphorylated state(64, 65). This condition renders SMO suscepti­ble to endocytosis and subsequent degradation, making it incapable of activating glioma- derived transcriptional factor (GLI1) proteins. These GLI1 proteins are transcription factors necessary for activating or repressing pathway- dependent genes. Negative regulation of GLI1 factors is further facilitated by the suppressor of fused (SUFU), a protein encoded by the SUFU gene, which is an integral part of the corepressor complex(66).
Upon the binding of hedgehog (SHH) to PTCH1, repression of SMO is released, leading to SMO becoming hyperphosphorylated. Consequently, this allows GLI1 to translocate into the nucleus. In normal physiological circumstances, this results in transcriptional modulation and various down­stream effects, including the proliferation, migration and differentiation of progenitor cells throughout vertebrate development(67).
However, under pathological conditions, constitutive activation of the hedgehog signalling path­way occurs due to mutations in critical regulatory proteins, resulting in uncontrolled tumour cell proliferation. Loss of function mutations in PTCH1 can occur through various mechanisms, such as deletions, insertions, nonsense and missense mutations (67), and are estimated to affect

approximately 70% of patients who meet the diagnostic criteria for NBCCS. Additionally, loss of function SUFU germline mutations have recently been reported in a subset of NBCCS patients. However, these patients tend to exhibit a lower incidence of major NBCCS criteria, including OKC but may have an increased risk of developing desmoplastic medulloblastoma(68).
Management: Frequent dermatological examination is essential for NBCCS patients, and sun pro-
tection is a vital preventative measure. Radiological screening for medulloblastomas and OKCs is usually performed yearly. Treatment options for BCCs include surgical excision or application of topical agents such as 5- fluorouracil (5- FU) and imiquimod. Surgical management of OKCs includes enucleation or marsupialisation with adjuvant therapies, including peripheral ostec­tomy and topical application of Carnoy’s solution or 5- FU to reduce recurrences(69). Recent advancements in personalised medicine have introduced the utilisation of hedgehog pathway inhibitors (HPI), such as Sonidegib, for treating patients with NBCCS(70).
16.4.2  Cherubism
Cherubism is an autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia characterised by bilateral and symmetric fibro- osseous lesions confined to the jaws. The name of the disorder is derived from the swollen, rounded cheeks and the upward positioning of the eyes, giving a cherubic (angel) appearance por­trayed in Renaissance art. The prevalence of this rare condition is unknown, with approximately 350 cases reported in the literature(71).
259
Clinical Features: clinical features of children appear normal at birth, and enlargement of the jaws
typically starts between the ages of two and seven years. These lesions continue to proliferate and increase in size until puberty. Radiographically, the lesions appear as expansile multilocular radiolucencies in the mandible and maxilla (Figures16.15 and16.16). These lesions are asymp­tomatic but can disturb the development or eruption of secondary dentition. The lesions subse­quently ‘burn out’ or regress, filling with bone and remodelling until around 30, when they are commonly no longer detectable(71).
Pathogenesis: Cherubism is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, although there are indications
that a recessive form may also exist. Cherubism is primarily caused by heterozygous germline gain- of- function mutations in the Sh3bp2 gene, which encodes the adaptor protein 3BP2. This protein is potentially involved in signal transduction and plays a role in regulating
