We describe the first Egyptian cases with acatalasemia and expand the mutational spectrum of this rare disorder. Premature loss of teeth is an emerging finding in our cases and addresses the hazardous systemic manifestations associated with the disorder. The rarity of inherited orodental diseases renders the accurate diagnosis difficult and complicates the symptoms. Therefore, the use of advanced molecular technologies is highly advisable for early diagnosis and management of patients.
