Analyses of MMP20 Missense Mutations in Two Families with Hypomaturation Amelogenesis Imperfecta

Analyses of MMP20 Missense Mutations in Two Families with Hypomaturation Amelogenesis Imperfecta

Amelogenesis imperfecta is a group of rare inherited disorders that affect tooth enamel formation, quantitatively and/or qualitatively. The aim of this study was to identify the genetic etiologies of two families presenting with hypomaturation amelogenesis imperfecta. DNA was isolated from periphera...
