Has anyone ever seen a 4 year old that only has 5 baby teeth and only 4 adult molars??

My son is almost 4 years old. He did not get any teeth until he was about 2 and half years old. The only baby teeth he does have are 5 molar teeth. We did x-rays today whihc showed that he has no other baby teeth to come and that in fact the teeth he does have do not have adult teeth plus he only had adult teeth for his 4 very back molars. I am missing my lower 4 front teeth which is a genetic thing that is passed along within my dads family but no one has seen anything like what my son has. The dentist was very surprised and is doing research because out of the 28 adult teeth you should have (not including wisedom teeth) he is therefore missing 24....the most this dentist has ever seen is someone missing 9. If anyone has heard of anything like this please let me know and if you knwo any causes as well or any links to which I may go to to research this! Thanks!
