    Study Notes

    Rare Genetic Disorders with Oral Manifestations

    • Hyperparathyroidism can be primary or secondary, with causes including severe calcium or vitamin D deficiency, chronic kidney failure, and hereditary states like MEN type 1 and 2A.
    • Cowden syndrome is characterized by noncancerous growths and an increased risk of cancers such as breast, thyroid, and endometrial cancer, often manifesting with multiple oral papillomatous papules.
    • PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome spectrum includes Cowden syndrome, Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome, and Proteus syndrome, associated with mutations in the PTEN gene and increased cancer risks.
    • Pyostomatitis vegetans is a rare pustular eruption in the mouth associated with inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
    • Addison disease, characterized by aldosterone and cortisol deficiency, presents with hypotension, metabolic acidosis, and hyperpigmentation due to increased MSH production from ↑ACTH.
    • Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, an autosomal dominant condition, is characterized by hamartomatous polyps in the GI tract and increased cancer risks, often with dark macules around the mouth, eyes, and nostrils.
    • Hypophosphatasia is a rare genetic disorder affecting bone and teeth development, caused by mutations in the TNSALP gene, and can present with premature exfoliation of deciduous teeth.
    • Hypothyroidism can manifest as cretinism or myxedema and may result in delayed tooth eruption and hypoplasia or agenesis in the USA due to decreased iodine.
    • Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder, is characterized by hyperthyroidism, goiter, exophthalmos, pretibial dermatopathy, and clubbing, and can be treated with teprotumumab, an IGF-IR inhibitor.
    • Vitamin D-resistant rickets, commonly associated with the PHEX gene, can lead to delayed tooth eruption and enlarged pulp horns, increasing endodontic problems.
    • Oral manifestations of hypothyroidism include delayed tooth eruption, hypoplasia or agenesis in the USA, and may be associated with Hashimoto thyroiditis.
    • Oral melanotic pigmentations can be associated with Addison disease, characterized by hyperpigmentation due to increased MSH production from ↑ACTH.
