Abstract

Ankyloglossia is an autosomal dominant condition with in complete penetrence, haracterized by frenulum lingual hypertrophy that produces a thicker and shorter tongue, which may cause significant problems with breastfeeding. It also causes speech and oral motor problems. The prevalence of ankyloglossia is approxi-mately 4% in babies, and tongue tie is estimated to affect 489,343 newborns, rep-resenting 10% of the Indonesian newborn population of 4,893,435.1 For reasons unknown, this condition is seen more often in males than in females. Ankylo-glossia may be isolated or accompanied by cleft palate (CPX). The presentation of this condition is associated with nucleotide base substitution mutations in the TBX22 gene and the G-protein-coupled receptor Lgr5 and can be related to epi-genetic modification, including DNA methylation and SUMOylation, which is one kind of histone modification.
