Eight <jats:italic>IFIH1<\/jats:italic> mutations were described in 11 families. Delayed eruption, short roots, and premature loss of permanent teeth were the most described features (100%). Impacted teeth (89%) and carious lesions (67%) were also described. Our patient, a 10-year-old male with Singleton\u2013Merten syndrome, presented numerous carious lesions, severe teeth malposition, especially in the anterior arch, and an oral hygiene deficiency with a 100% plaque index. The panoramic X-ray did not show any dental agenesis but revealed very short roots and a decrease in the jaw alveolar bone height. The whole-genome sequencing analysis revealed a heterozygous <jats:italic>de novo<\/jats:italic> variant in <jats:italic>IFIH1<\/jats:italic> (NM_022168.4) c.2465G &amp;gt; A (p.Arg822Gln).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Confused descriptions of oral features occurred in the literature between congenital findings and \u201cacquired\u201d pathology, especially carious lesions. The dental phenotype of these patients encompasses eruption anomalies (delayed eruption and impacted teeth) and lack of root edification, leading to premature loss of permanent teeth, and it may contribute to the diagnosis. An early diagnosis is essential to prevent teeth loss and to improve the quality of life of these patients.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Systematic Review Registration<\/jats:bold>: [<jats:ext-link>https:\/\/www.crd.york.ac.uk\/prospero\/<\/jats:ext-link>], identifier [CRD42022300025].<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fgene.2022.875490","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,9]],"date-time":"2022-06-09T07:55:04Z","timestamp":1654761304000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Oral Phenotype of Singleton\u2013Merten Syndrome: A Systematic Review Illustrated With a Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Margot Charlotte","family":"Riou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muriel","family":"de La Dure-Molla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"St\u00e9phane","family":"Kerner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sophie","family":"Rondeau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adrien","family":"Legendre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valerie","family":"Cormier-Daire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benjamin P.
