Amelogenesis imperfecta: Next-generation sequencing sheds light on Witkop’s classification

Abstract excerpt

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a heterogeneous group of genetic rare diseases disrupting enamel development (Smith et al., Front Physiol, 2017a, 8, 333). The clinical enamel phenotypes can be described as hypoplastic, hypomineralized or hypomature and serve as a basis, together with the mode of inheritance, to Witkop’s classification (Witkop, J Oral Pathol, 1988, 17, 547–553). AI can be described in isolation or...
