Spectrum of pathogenic variants and multiple founder effects in amelogenesis imperfecta associated with <i>MMP20</i>
2020-07-24
Abstract excerpt
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) describes a heterogeneous group of developmental enamel defects that typically have Mendelian inheritance. Exome sequencing of ten families with recessive hypomaturation AI revealed 4 novel and 1 known variants in the matrix metallopeptidase 20 ( MMP20 ) gene that were predicted to be pathogenic. MMP20 encodes a protease that cleaves the developing extracellular enamel matrix and is...
