Description: Help
Our laboratory conducts analyses to characterize the underlying genetic cause(s) of non‑syndromic missing teeth, as well as non‑syndromic enamel and/or dentin defects. To carry out a meaningful analysis, family (self‑referred or referred by health care providers) should have clearly identified affected individual(s) from more than one generation. Upon evaluation of … View more

Study aims and hypotheses: Help
This study aims to determine the genetic etiologies of inherited dental defects. The hypothesis is that target gene analysis and whole exome analysis can identify causal mutations in kindreds with enamel defects in proven AI candidate genes, and also identify novel AI‑causing genes and mutations.

Test Procedure: Help
Method #1, target gene analysis, is the primary test procedure. When the primary test did not yield a definitive result and clinical diagnosis is reconfirmed, then Method #2, whole exome sequencing, with bioinformatic analysis may be used.
