Abstract: Objective: To provide a reference for the early diagnosis of cancer disease risk indicators by studying the intrinsic relationship between the hypodontia and tumor gene.Methods: The clinical data of pedigree with hypodontia and tumor-prone was collected.The pedigree genetic map was drawn to analyze the genetic characteristics.The pedigree members of whole blood genomic DNA for whole exome sequencing was extracted.The obtained sequence was compared with the Human Genome Sequence 37th Reference Gene Group (GRCh37).The sample variation information was screened, counted, and annotated to filter out the disease-associated mutations or gene.Results: There was an intrinsic link between abnormal tooth development and tumorigenesis.Hypodontia was expected to become an extremely important risk indicator in future tumor research.Conclusion: There may be an internal relationship between hypodontia and tumor-prone.Congenital absence of teeth is expected to be an important risk indicator in future cancer research.
