Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To establish whether two families from Malopolska and Mazovia provinces in Poland are affected by hereditary gingival fibromatosis type 1, caused by a single-cytosine insertion in exon 21 of the Son-of-Sevenless-1 gene. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Six subjects with hereditary gingival fibromatosis and five healthy subjects were enrolled in the study. Gingival biopsies were collected during gingivectomy or tooth extraction and used for histopathological evaluation. Total RNA and genomic DNA were purified from cultured gingival fibroblasts followed by cDNA and genomic DNA sequencing and analysis. RESULTS: Hereditary gingival fibromatosis was confirmed by periodontal examination, X-ray, and laboratory tests. Histopathological evaluation showed hyperplastic epithelium, numerous collagen bundles, and abundant-to-moderate fibroblasts in subepithelial and connective tissue. Sequencing of exons 19-22 of the Son-of-Sevenless-1 gene did not reveal a single-cytosine insertion nor other mutations. CONCLUSIONS: Patients from two Polish families under study had not been affected by hereditary gingival fibromatosis type 1, caused by a single-cytosine insertion in exon 21 of the Son-of-Sevenless-1 gene. Further studies of the remaining regions of this gene as well as of other genes are needed to identify disease-related mutations in these patients. This will help to unravel the pathogenic mechanism of gingival overgrowth.
