Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) refers to a group of rare yet complex genetic disorders that affect the quantity and/or quality of tooth enamel. Recently, in AI patients, we identified mutations that disrupt a conserved alternative splicing pattern of the AMELX gene, which encodes amelogenin, the most abundant enamel matrix protein. These mutations led to the retention of exon 4, which is normally skipped...
