Mutational analysis of X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta in multiple families.

Abstract excerpt

Seven mutations in the amelogenin gene are associated with X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta. These mutations can produce reductions in the amount of enamel and the degree of mineralization. Two families have been identified from western North Carolina exhibiting features of amelogenesis imperfecta, characterized by brown enamel in affected males and interposed vertical bands of normal appearing and brown enamel...
