Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to characterize dentin ultrastructural features resulting from a nonsense mutation in DSPP gene and to define various phenotypes associated with specific DSPP mutations in families with Dentinogenesis Imperfecta type II (DGI-II). STUDY DESIGN: Two families with DGI-II were investigated for phenotypes and genotypes. Mutation analysis was performed by amplifying DSPP exons...
