Enamelin maps to human chromosome 4q21 within the autosomal dominant amelogenesis imperfecta locus

Abstract excerpt

Amelogenesis imperfecta is a group of hereditary enamel defects. Of the autosomal dominant forms, only the local hypoplastic type has been mapped to human chromosome 4q 13-4q21. Enamelin is a large enamel matrix protein secreted by ameloblasts. The purpose of this study was to determine the human chromosomal localization of enamelin to establish an association with various forms of amelogenesis imperfecta....
