A novel nonsense PTH1R variant shows incomplete penetrance of primary failure of eruption: a case report.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Aim of this work was to describe a rare inheritance pattern of Primary Failure of Eruption (PFE) in a small family with incomplete penetrance of PFE and a novel nonsense PTH1R variant. CASE PRESENTATION:The proband, a 26 year-old man with a significant bilateral open-bite, was diagnosed with PFE using clinical and radiographic characteristics. DNA was extracted from the proband and his immediate family using buccal swabs and the entire PTH1R coding sequence was analyzed, revealing a novel heterozygous nonsense variant in exon 7 of PTH1R (c.505G > T). This variant introduces a premature stop codon in position 169, predicted to result in the production of a truncated and non-functional protein. This variant has never been reported in association with PFE and is not present in the
