Abstract excerpt
Amelogenin gene (AMEL) encodes for a protein that plays important roles in the organization and structure of enamel. A recent evolutionary analysis of AMELX in mammals has revealed, aside to well-conserved 5' and 3' regions, a variable region located in the largest exon (exon 6), which strongly suggested the possible existence of polymorphism in human AMELX. A detailed analysis of this region was of fundamental...
