Tooth Crown Morphology in Turner and Klinefelter Syndrome Individuals from a Croatian Sample.

OBJECTIVE: Turner syndrome (TS) and Klinefelter syndrome (KS) represent the two most common X chromosome aneuploidies, each associated with systemic disruptions to growth and development. Effects of these conditions on tooth crown morphology are explored in a sample of Croatian individuals.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sample included 57 TS, 37 KS and 88 control individuals. Dental crown morphology was scored on dental casts according to the Turner-Scott Dental Anthropology System.
RESULTS: Incisor shoveling and the hypocone were significantly different between TS individuals and both control and KS individuals. Individuals with TS exhibit lower grades of expression than either group. Furthermore, the number of lingual cusps on the mandibular premolars, the hypoconulid on the mandibular second molar, and cusp 7 on the mandibular first molar were significantly different, though pair-wise comparisons did not elucidate these differences. Tuberculum dentale, distal accessory ridge, and Carabelli's trait were expressed similarly to the control. KS individuals were not significantly different from control individuals for any trait, though this may be related to sample size.
CONCLUSIONS: Previous studies suggest the loss of an X chromosome has a reducing effect on dental crown morphology, which is confirmed in this research. TS individuals exhibit generally simpler dental morphology compared to the control sample, though some traits are expressed comparably to the control sample. The effects of KS are less clear. Though previous studies suggest that the presence of an extra X chromosome increases dental crown dimensions, there was no notable effect on crown morphology in this study.

Introduction

Turner syndrome (TS) and Klinefelter syndrome (KS) represent the two most common disorders due to aneuploidy of the sex chromosomes. TS occurs in females with complete or partial absence of the second X chromosome, while KS affects males with an extra X chromosome(s). The leading symptom in both syndromes is gonadal dysgenesis. General growth and development are affected with the most consistent feature being short stature in TS and tall stature in KS (, ). Numerous, but mild, stigmata manifest in the craniofacial region including distinctive cephalometric features (-).

Pronounced effects on dental development have also been noted for TS and KS individuals (-). Dental researchers predominantly focus on the effects of these syndromes on tooth crown size, as compared to individuals with a normal chromosomal complement (-). Comparatively little research has explored the effects of these aneuploidies on tooth crown morphology (, -). Roots seem to be more affected than the crowns, demonstrating shortening and increased complexity in TS individuals (-) and an increase in root length and taurodontism among those with KS (, , ). Both syndromes are characterized by a higher incidence of malocclusion (, , , ).

With respect to crown morphology, TS individuals have been characterized by simplification (, , , , -). Distinctive patterns with respect to control populations are related to an overall reduction in tooth size and/or the thinning of enamel in TS individuals (, ). Most often these differences manifest as lower grades of expression of traits already present in the population. For example, incisor shoveling is found at lower grades, or is more commonly absent than in control groups (), the size and number of lingual cusps on mandibular premolars may be reduced (), the hypocone and/or the hypoconulid of the first molar is typically reduced or absent (, , ), and there is a tendency toward absence of Carabelli’s trait (, ). KS individuals show fewer differences in crown morphology, but the presence of additional X chromosomes has been linked to increased expression of Carabelli’s trait ().

Since tooth crown traits are not simply discrete presence/absence of variables but exhibit a wide range of expression from slight to pronounced, researchers use ranked standards for scoring non-metrical variation of dental traits. The most widely used scheme and recommended standard is the Turner-Scott Dental Anthropology System, formerly ASUDAS (, ).

Data indicate that sex chromosome aberrations influence dental morphology in a variety of ways. To the knowledge of authors, despite numerous studies, a systematic analysis of morphological variants of all tooth classes in TS and KS individuals has not been published. To get a comprehensive and objective picture of the influence of X-chromosome aberration on the crown morphology of a complete dentition, a sample of Croatian individuals with TS and KS was evaluated using the Turner-Scott Dental Anthropology System.

Materials and Methods

In August 2014, GRS observed nonmetric crown traits on a sample of dental casts of TS and KS individuals and a control group of unrelated individuals at the University of Zagreb School of Dental Medicine (n=182) (Table 1). TS and KS individuals were part of a larger sample of individuals with various sex chromosome anomalies examined in the course of the research project ‘‘Characteristics of the Craniofacial Complex in Gonadal Dysgenesis’’ between 1981 and 1998 (Croatian Ministry of Science and Technology, Project 3-02-383). All individuals underwent dental exams, impressions, and radiographs at the Departments of Dental Anthropology and Orthodontics, School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb, Croatia. Karyotypes were determined by chromosome analysis of peripheral lymphocytes and skin fibroblasts. Informed consent was obtained from all participants and legal guardians.

Dental morphological variants were scored following the guidelines of the Turner-Scott Dental Anthropology System, formerly ASUDAS (, ). The system consists of a set of plaques for permanent teeth, accompanied by trait descriptions and scoring standards. The Croatian population belongs to the Western Eurasian dental complex, which is characterized by relatively simple crown morphology (, ). As such, many traits of the Turner-Scott System are rare in European populations, and an insufficient amount of data were collected to present the findings of qualitative research in a coherent and meaningful way.. Additionally, factors like occlusal wear and ante mortem tooth loss precluded observations of some traits. The resulting dataset contains traits regularly observed in the three samples (Table 2).

For these analyses, dental morphological data were recorded following the individual count method (). The underlying premise of the individual count method is that dental traits are threshold traits; consequently, the higher expression of the trait, regardless of side, is most indicative of the individual’s genotype. This method reduces redundancy in the data, and streamlines data collection for subsequent analysis.

Trait frequencies among TS individuals, KS individuals, and the control group were assessed for significant differences using the Pearson’s chi-square test. Trait frequencies for which a difference was found among groups were then analyzed using the Fischer’s exact test with the Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. The Fischer’s exact test was used to identify between which specific groups (e.g. TS/KS, TS/control, KS/control) differences in dental morphology occurred. Sexes were pooled for analyses. Both the TS and KS samples comprise a single sex, and most of the traits examined exhibit negligible sexual dimorphism ().

Results

The frequencies for all traits recorded are presented in an appendix to facilitate future comparisons to other populations. Frequencies of the following traits showed no significant differences among groups: tuberculum dentale, Carabelli’s trait, cusp 5, canine distal accessory ridge, and cusp 6.

Individuals in the TS sample showed a variety of expression in dental crown traits, including both simple and pronounced grades (Figures 1 and 2). Of the traits examined, only incisor shoveling and the hypocone were significantly different (p=0.05) between individuals with TS and both control and KS individuals (Tables 3-4). Shoveling among TS individuals is significantly different from the control sample and individuals with KS on both the central and lateral incisors (p<0.05). Inspection of the relative frequencies of each shoveling score indicates that individuals with TS more often exhibit the absence of shoveling than both the control and KS samples, and that when present, it is expressed to a lesser degree (Table 3).

M – molar

The hypocone is significantly different in TS individuals compared to KS and control individuals, on the maxillary first molar, but only from control individuals on the second molar (p<0.01). As with shoveling, TS individuals are more likely to exhibit the absence of the hypocone than other groups, and instances in which the hypocone is present, it is minimally expressed (Table 4).

Additionally, significant differences were found among groups for lingual cusps on the mandibular premolars, the hypoconulid on the mandibular second molar, and cusp 7 on the mandibular first molar. Although the chi-square test identified that significant differences exist, the Bonferroni correction applied to the Fisher’s test did not identify any significant pair-wise comparisons. This difference is likely due to the conservative nature of the Bonferroni correction, which is designed to combat Type I error, or false positives, at the cost of a reduction in statistical power, or an increase in false negatives.

The frequencies of lingual premolar cusps and the hypoconulid on the second molar follow similar patterns to shoveling and the hypocone; that is, individuals with TS more frequently exhibit trait absence than either the control or KS samples (Appendix 1). TS individuals, for example, fail to exhibit a lingual cusp on the lower first premolar 21.4% of the time (Figure 1A, Figure 1B). This simplified phenotype is far less common in control (5.9%) and KS (2.9%) individuals. In cases where TS individuals express multiple lingual cusps or the hypoconulid, it is typically of a lesser degree than in the other groups. The frequency distribution for cusp 7 is different. TS individuals do not seem to have a marked increase in absence of the trait compared to other groups. However, the control sample is the only one of the three groups to have non-zero frequencies for expression above grade 2, which may contribute to this difference.

Individuals with KS were not significantly different from the control individuals for any trait, though this may be a product of the small number of individuals observed with KS.

Discussion

The present research investigated nonmetric crown traits in TS and KS individuals, who express clinical manifestations of X chromosome aneuploidy. One benefit of this research is the systematic analysis of complete dentitions using a standard established for that purpose, thus giving an insight on the influence of the X chromosome on tooth crown morphology of a variety of tooth classes. Secondly, an assessment of nonmetric crown traits can be difficult and training is required to confidently distinguish between grades of individual traits. Since evaluation was performed by an experienced researcher (GRS), who is one of the authors of the standard, these distinctions were made with confidence, which is another benefit to this study. The syndrome groups, TS and KS, are well represented, both in the presence of common karyotypes and in their relative distributions (Table 1).

Ten traits in total were present both in syndromic groups and in the control group (Table 2). TS individuals showed a great variety including both simple and pronounced grades of expression. While some traits (shoveling, hypocone, lingual premolar cusps, hypoconulid on the second molar and cusp 7 on the first molar) were reduced in the TS group, the others showed frequencies and expressions comparable to those in the control sample (tuberculum dentale, canine distal accessory ridge, Carabelli’s trait, cusp 5, and cusp 6). This finding is new, as in the literature tooth crown morphology in TS is described as simplified (, , , , , -).

As KS manifest the opposite findings to TS regarding body stature, craniofacial patterning, mandibular growth, and tooth size, one would expect the same for tooth crown morphology. However, this study did not reveal any significant differences between KS and the control group. This result may be influenced by the small number of individuals in KS group, which is a potential limitation of this study.

Aneuploidies of the X chromosome, including KS and TS, affect tooth crown size (-). TS and KS influence tooth size due to differences in the number of X chromosomes, and consequently differences in amelogenin secretion and enamel formation (, ). The X chromosome has been linked to enamel thickness as well as the rate of dental development (, , , , -). Consequently, males affected by KS have larger teeth than males with a normal chromosomal complement (, , , , -). The importance of the X chromosome to tooth size is directly related to the number of extra X chromosomes, and its effect on general growth patterns and enamel thickness (). Similarly, females affected by monosomatic (45,X), structural aberrations, and mosaic forms of TS have smaller teeth due to the absence of all or part of an X chromosome (, , , , , , , , ). Interestingly, because TS is an aneuploidy specifically of the X chromosome, it is only enamel formation that is affected; dentine does not appear to be affected by TS (). Odontometric investigations on the effect of chromosomal aneuploidies on the dentition have identified an inverse relationship between the degree of size reduction and the length of time a given tooth requires for development. Teeth that take longer to develop, such as the canines, have less reduced crown diameters, whereas quickly developing teeth, like the molars, are more reduced (, ).

The discussion of the effect on tooth size is an important consideration with respect to dental crown morphology. There is a positive association between crown size and crown complexity, meaning that larger teeth exhibit crown traits more frequently and to a more pronounced degree (-). The size and degree of expression of Carabelli’s trait is reduced with small tooth size (, , ). Additionally, minimal expression of Carabelli’s trait and hypocone reduction have also been linked to one another (, , , ). Although crown size and complexity are correlated, there is not necessarily a causal link.

The most likely explanation for the relationship between tooth size and crown complexity is that both size and cusp number and pattern are regulated by the same or related processes (). The role of enamel knots in tooth development may be critical. Enamel knots are regions of non-dividing cells on the inner enamel epithelium present during tooth formation. Signaling factors released by these regions promote cell growth in adjacent regions that ultimately form the cusps of the tooth (-). Additionally, several studies suggest that substances released by the enamel knots are involved in the regulation of crown size and cusp pattern (-). Nakayama and colleagues () argue that the complement of X chromosomes affects the development of enamel knots. If Nakayama and colleagues are correct in their hypothesized relationship between the X chromosome and the formation of enamel knots, then individuals missing an X chromosome, or part of one, would be expected to exhibit smaller teeth with fewer cusps, which is supported both by odontometric data (, , , , , , , , ) and the frequencies of morphological traits observed in this sample as well as in previous work (, -).

In this sample, individuals with TS exhibit significantly different frequencies for incisor shoveling and the hypocone, compared to control individuals and individuals with KS. Similar patterns were observed in Finnish and Norwegian samples (, , , ). Individuals with TS exhibit multiple lingual premolar cusps less frequently than the control group and the KS group. Although rarely examined, previous work has found that TS can result in fewer lingual cusps on the mandibular premolars (). Furthermore, work on Carabelli’s trait and hypocone reduction (, , , ) has linked TS to a general reduction in cusp number, in some cases independent of the reduction in crown size. The generalized relationship between TS and cusp reduction may also explain the potential differences seen in expression of the hypoconulid and cusp 7, though to our knowledge, these patterns have not been previously described.

Several studies on the influence of different TS karyotypes on tooth size and morphology demonstrated that the isochromosome karyotype 46,X,i(Xq) (lack of the short arm Xp with duplication of the long arms Xq) is the most divergent showing the most reduced crown dimensions, the mosaic 45,X/46,XX karyotype (having both normal XX and one X sex chromosome cell lines) exhibits the largest crown dimensions, close to those of normal females, and the 45,X karyotype is intermediate to these extremes (, , , , ). In a recent study by Nakayama et al., the difference between karyotypes in distribution of Carabelli's cusp was not significant (). Surprisingly, the same study found the absence of the hypocone to be most frequent in 45, X/46, XX individuals and the least frequent in the 45, X karyotype (). Smaller crown size was associated with a reduced distolingual cusp but not with a reduction in Carabelli’s cusp. The hypothesized explanation of these findings is that the candidate genes (promoters) for controlling tooth crown size are located in the region PAR1 in Xp, whereas their inhibitor is located in the region PAR2 of Xq. Therefore, phenotypic variation is a result of an interactive equilibrium between the promoters and inhibitors. The process of unilateral X chromosome inactivation should also be considered. The comparison of TS karyotypes was not the aim of the present investigation; however, it is interesting that the two TS cases showing the largest grades of Carabelli's trait on M1 and a distinctive Carabelli's trait on M2 (Figures 2A and 2B) were both of 45, X karyotype. Where crown morphology is concerned, it is possible that 45, X karyotype is phenotypically closest to normal females.

Two distinct lingual cusps with free apices on the lower first premolar. B. Distinct lingual cusp on lower second premolar. C. Distinct hypoconulid on lower first molar.

If the size of the crown is correlated with morphological complexity, e.g. (-, , , , -), it might be expected that individuals with KS would exhibit more complex dental morphology. Although the presence of an additional X chromosome does correlate with an increase in crown size in KS males (, , , -), it does not appear to have any effect on crown morphology in the Croatian sample. Mayhall and Alvesalo () also did not find differences between KS and normal males in Carabelli's trait expression. In the light of the hypothesis by Nakayama et al. (), it is possible that two copies of the X chromosome in KS individuals contribute to a dosage of promoter and inhibitor genes that result in the suppression of the development of complex dental morphology.

The data on this Croatian sample are consistent with other studies on the effects of chromosomal aneuploidies on dental morphology, supporting the role of the X chromosome both in the production of enamel, and the development and pattern of tooth cusps. Though most traits exhibit the simplification expected in TS individuals, it is important to note that for some traits (tuberculum dentale, canine distal accessory ridge, Carabelli’s trait, cusp 5, and cusp 6), TS individuals have frequencies and expressions comparable to those seen in the control sample. Considering the findings of this research, classifying the effect of TS on dental crown morphology as ‘simplification’ may be an overly simplistic categorization. The available literature focuses on individuals from European samples. The Western Eurasian dental complex is already characterized by simplified crown morphology (, , ); therefore, the effects of these aneuploidies on populations with more complex morphology remain unknown.

Conclusions

Aneuploidies of the X chromosome affect dental development. The effect on tooth size is well-documented, but comparatively little research has focused on its effects on dental crown morphology. Previous studies suggest that the loss of X chromosome material has a reducing effect on dental crown morphology, which has been largely confirmed in this research. Although a typical Western Eurasian dentition is characterized by simplification, individuals with TS generally exhibit simpler morphology, particularly in expressions of incisor shoveling and the reduction of the hypocone. However, not all crown traits seem to be equally affected by the absent X chromosome; tuberculum dentale, canine distal accessory ridge, and Carabelli’s trait are in particular expressed similarly to the control sample. The effects of KS are less clear and may be elucidated through the study of populations with a more complex dental morphology. Though the presence of an extra X chromosome increases dental crown dimensions, there was no notable effect on crown morphology in this study.
