Craniofacial and Dental Anomalies of a Patient Carrying Two MicroRNA Variants: A Proof-Of-Concept Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Craniofacial and dentofacial anomalies often result from disruptions in embryogenetic processes driven by genetic alterations. Dental development involves complex interactions between coding and non-coding genes, orchestrated by a network of signaling pathways. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has identified genes, particularly in the WNT signaling pathway, associated with dental anomalies. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNA molecules, play a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation. Variants in miRNAs, such as in MIR146A, have been linked to various craniofacial pathologies. A 10-year-old female with a class II molar malocclusion and maxillary constriction was examined. Clinical and radiographic assessments revealed impacted cuspids (both maxillary canines and the right mandibular canine), odontoma, and root resorption. Genetic analysis showed that the patient carried two variants in MIR146A (rs2910164) and MIR182 (rs76481776). The patient exhibited skeletal anomalies including class II ponticulus posticus and sella turcica bridging. The proof-of-concept study incorporates relevant literature discussing the molecular basis of dental anomalies, suggesting to take into account the potential functional role of miRNAs. Previous research has associated MIR146A polymorphisms with various diseases, highlighting the need for a comprehensive understanding of genetic influences on craniofacial development. This case report presents craniofacial and dental anomalies in a patient carrying two miRNA variants. Understanding the genetic basis of dental anomalies, particularly the role of miRNAs, holds promise for future advancements in orthodontics, enabling personalized diagnostics and prognostics.
