The most common clinical findings include a long, narrow nose, short palpebral fissures, type III syndactyly, and dental abnormalities including generalized microdontia and enamel hypoplasia. Recently, it has been shown that mutations in the gene GJA1, which encodes the gap junction protein connexin 43, underlie oculodentodigital syndrome. Gap junction communication between adjacent cells is known to be vital during embryogenesis and subsequently for normal tissue homeostasis. Here, we report 8 missense mutations in the coding region of GJA1, 6 of which have not been described previously, in ten unrelated families diagnosed with ODD. In addition, immunofluorescence analyses of a developmental series of mouse embryos and adult tissue demonstrates a strong correlation between the sites of connexin 43 expression and the clinical phenotype displayed by individuals affected by ODD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/154405910808701108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,8]],"date-time":"2009-01-08T19:39:42Z","timestamp":1231443582000},"page":"1021-1026","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Novel Mutations in\n                    <i>GJA1<\/i>\n                    Cause Oculodentodigital syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Fenwick","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Life Sciences and Dental School, Michael Smith Building, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.J.","family":"Richardson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Life Sciences and Dental School, Michael Smith Building, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Butterworth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Life Sciences and Dental School, Michael Smith Building, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.J.","family":"Barron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Life Sciences and Dental School, Michael Smith Building, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.J.","family":"Dixon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Life Sciences and Dental School, Michael Smith Building, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ANUMONWO-ETAL-2001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/hh0701.088833"},{"key":"BENNETT-ETAL-1991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0896-6273(91)90241-Q"},{"key":"CALERA-ETAL-2006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1242\/jcs.03202"},{"key":"DE-LA-PARRA-AND-ZENTENO-2007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13816810701538620"},{"key":"DEBEER-ETAL-2005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejmg.2005.05.003"},{"key":"DOBROWOLSKI-ETAL-2008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/ddm329"},{"key":"EVANS-AND-MARTIN-2002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09687680210139839"},{"key":"FLENNIKEN-ETAL-2005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1242\/dev.02011"},{"key":"FOOTE-ETAL-1998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1083\/jcb.140.5.1187"},{"key":"JERNVALL-AND-THESLEFF-2000","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0925-4773(99)00322-6"},{"key":"KAGAYAMA-ETAL-1995","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kagayama M, Akita H, Sasano Y -1995- Immunohistochemical localization of connexin 43 in the developing tooth germ of rat.
