Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders of defective enamel formation. The major protein involved in enamel formation, amelogenin, is encoded by a gene located at Xp22.1-Xp22.3. This study investigated the molecular defect producing a combined phenotype of hypoplasia and hypomineralization in a family with the clinical features and inheritance pattern of X-linked amelogenesis...
