Oligodontia-cancer predisposition syndrome(ODCRCS)

MedGen UID:
324868
Concept ID:
C1837750
Neoplastic Process
Synonyms: Oligodontia-colorectal cancer syndrome; TOOTH AGENESIS-COLORECTAL CANCER SYNDROME
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
Concept ID:
C0443147
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.
 
Gene (location): AXIN2 (17q24.1)

Definition

Oligodontia-cancer predisposition syndrome is a rare, genetic, odontologic disease characterized by congenital absence of six or more permanent teeth (excluding the third molars) in association with an increased risk for malignancies, ranging from gastrointestinal polyposis to early-onset colorectal cancer and/or breast cancer. Ectodermal dysplasia (manifesting with sparse hair and/or eyebrows) may also be associated. [from ORDO]

Clinical features

From HPO
Colon cancer
MedGen UID:
2839
Concept ID:
C0007102
Neoplastic Process
A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm that affects the colon. Representative examples include carcinoma, lymphoma, and sarcoma.
Polyposis of gastric fundus without polyposis coli
MedGen UID:
357403
Concept ID:
C1868001
Neoplastic Process
Multiple polyps in the acid-secreting mucosa of the gastric body and fundus. Fundic gland polyps (FGP) are usually 1 to 5 mm in size, though larger polyps have been found. FGPs are typically sessile, shiny, translucent, pale to pinkish in color (resembling the surrounding mucosa), and often exhibit tiny surface blood vessels. These polyps have characteristically been observed to chunk off or detach entirely at the base when removed with cold forceps, in contrast to other types of gastric polyps.
Adenomatous colonic polyposis
MedGen UID:
358118
Concept ID:
C1868071
Finding
Presence of multiple adenomatous polyps in the colon.
Absent eyebrow
MedGen UID:
98133
Concept ID:
C0431448
Congenital Abnormality
Absence of the eyebrow.
Sparse scalp hair
MedGen UID:
346499
Concept ID:
C1857042
Finding
Decreased number of hairs per unit area of skin of the scalp.
Oligodontia
MedGen UID:
904670
Concept ID:
C4082304
Congenital Abnormality
The absence of six or more teeth from the normal series by a failure to develop.
Sparse axillary hair
MedGen UID:
348975
Concept ID:
C1858574
Finding
Reduced number or density of axillary hair.
Sparse body hair
MedGen UID:
350775
Concept ID:
C1862863
Finding
Sparseness of the body hair.
Short eyelashes
MedGen UID:
411272
Concept ID:
C2748682
Finding
Decreased length of the eyelashes (subjective).
Breast carcinoma
MedGen UID:
146260
Concept ID:
C0678222
Neoplastic Process
The presence of a carcinoma of the breast.
