OBJECTIVE: The aim of this longitudinal study was to characterize the dento-osseous phenotype of eleven familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients and twenty-two family members from four Brazilian families who were followed over nine years and to investigate adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene variants using a targeted next-generation sequencing approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Medical and dental history, oral examination, and panoramic radiography were performed to diagnose and follow up the dento-osseous anomalies. The anomalies were evaluated following the validated diagnostic tool dental panoramic radiographic score (DPRS), a system developed for high-risk FAP patients. Patients diagnosed with dento-osseous anomalies underwent cone-beam computed tomography. For genetic analysis, DNA was isolated from patients' saliva. RESULTS: Dento-osseous anomalies were identified in ten of the eleven FAP patients by panoramic radiograph evaluation. DPRS ≥ 7 (significant changes) was found in 81.8% (9/11) of FAP patients. The follow-up showed an increase in osseous jaw lesions in two young patients during adolescence. Dento-osseous anomalies were not found in non-FAP patients. A novel heterozygous nonsense pathogenic variant in APC exon 5 (c.481C > T; p.Gln161*) was identified in family 2, and a heterozygous splice-site pathogenic variant was identified in family 1 (c.532-1G > A). CONCLUSION: Our study expands the mutation spectrum of the APC gene and provides evidence that dento-osseous screening by imaging is a putative tool for early diagnosis of FAP. Also, the detection of dento-osseous anomalies in young patients with increasing osseous lesions during adolescence highlights the need for dental follow-up of high-risk FAP children. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Dental radiographs are important for the screening and the follow-up of dento-osseous anomalies associated with FAP. It can also contribute to the early diagnosis of the disease.
