Trait
Abnormal cementum morphology
Any structural anomaly of the cementum, which is the mineralized connective tissue covering the dental root. The cementum allows anchoring of the fibers of the periodontal ligament. Cementum is secreted by cementoblasts, which may be, later on, embedded in the cementum. Cementum can be acellular (along the two third coronal portion of the root) and cellular (in the apical and interradicular part of the root).

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Abnormal cementum morphology is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| APCAPC regulator of Wnt signaling pathway | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
