Genes and related proteins involved in amelogenesis imperfecta.

Journal of dental research - 1 Dec 2005

Abstract excerpt

Dental enamel formation is a remarkable example of a biomineralization process. The exact mechanisms involved in this process remain partly obscure. Some of the genes encoding specific enamel proteins have been indicated as candidate genes for amelogenesis imperfecta. Mutational analyses within studied families have supported this hypothesis. Mutations in the amelogenin gene (AMELX) cause X-linked amelogenesis...
