Exclusion of candidate genes in two families with autosomal dominant hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfecta.

Abstract excerpt

The amelogenesis imperfectas (AI) are a group of hereditary enamel defects characterized by clinical and genetic diversity. The most common AI types are inherited as autosomal traits. Three mutations of the enamelin (ENAM) gene have been found in cases of autosomal dominant hypoplastic AI. The gene(s) responsible for hypocalcified forms of AI have not been identified, although a number of autosomal genes have...
