abstract

amelogenesis imperfectas (ais) are clinically and genetically heterogeneous conditions characterized by a wide range of clinical features. these abnormalities of enamel formation are categorized into three main groups, hypoplastic, hypomaturation and hypocalcified with different modes of inheritance such as autosomal recessive (ar), autosomal dominant (ad) and x-lined recessive (xlr). in spite of the fact that frequent studies have explained the histological features of ais, our knowledge regarding the molecular etiology of the affected enamel is not adequate. up to now, different loci have been suggested to associate with the causation of ais. several genetic mutations including enamelin (enam), amelogenin (amelx), ameloblastin (ambn), tuftelin (tuft1), kallikrein 4 (klk4), matrix metalloproteinase 20 (mmp20) and family with sequence similarity 83, member h (fam83h) have been suggested to play critical roles in the pathogenesis of these disorders. therefore, the aim of this investigation was to study of mutation screening in enam, klk4, mmp20 and fam83h genes, responsible for ais development in five iranian families in which the probands were diagnosed with autosomal recessive hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta (arhai). genomic dna was extracted from probands and exon/intron boundaries of afore-mentioned genes were amplified by pcr and subjected to direct sequencing. we could not detect any mutation in the studied genes however; two different novel polymorphisms including t18515c and g18504a were identified in the intron 4 of mmp20 in the probands of two families. our findings support the notion that different genes may be involved in the development of amelogenesis imperfectas.

Missense Mutation in Fam83H Gene in Iranian Patients with Amelogenesis Imperfecta

BACKGROUND Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) is a disorder of tooth development where there is an abnormal formation of enamel or the external layer of teeth. The aim of this study was to screen mutations in the four most important candidate genes, ENAM, KLK4, MMP20 and FAM83H responsible for amelogenesis imperfect. METHODS Geneomic DNA was isolated from five Iranian families with 22 members affec...

Amelogenesis imperfecta: genotype-phenotype studies in 71 families.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) represents hereditary conditions affecting the quality and quantity of enamel. Six genes are known to cause AI (AMELX, ENAM, MMP20, KLK4, FAM83H, and WDR72). Our aim was to determine the distribution of different gene mutations in a large AI population and evaluate phenotype-genotype relationships. Affected and unaffected family members were evaluated clinically and...

FAM83H mutations in families with autosomal-dominant hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfecta.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a collection of diverse inherited disorders featuring dental-enamel defects in the absence of significant nondental symptoms. AI phenotypes vary and are categorized as hypoplastic, hypocalcified, and hypomaturation types. Phenotypic specificity to enamel has focused research on genes encoding enamel-matrix proteins. We studied two families with autosomal-dominant...

Autosomal dominant amelogenesis imperfecta associated with ENAM frameshift mutation p.Asn36Ilefs56.

To the Editor : Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a collection of nonsyndromic inherited diseases featuring a variety of abnormal enamel phenotypes, patterns of inheritance, and causative genes. The term is also used to indicate the presence of an enamel phenotype in syndromes. Dental enamel is the most highly mineralized tissue in the body, lacks collagen, and is the product of specialized epith...
