Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) exhibits diverse inheritance patterns, with autosomal dominant being most common. The study identified hypoplastic and hypomineralization forms, often linked to specific inheritance modes.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Oral Biology
  • Human Pathology

Background:

  • Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of inherited disorders affecting tooth enamel formation.
  • Understanding the genetic basis and clinical variability of AI is crucial for diagnosis and management.
  • Previous studies have suggested various modes of inheritance and phenotypic expressions of AI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the modes of inheritance of amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) in families from northern Sweden.
  • To characterize the clinical manifestations of AI and their association with different inheritance patterns.
  • To identify potential sex-specific differences in AI presentation.

Main Methods:

  • A study was conducted on 51 families with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) in Västerbotten, northern Sweden.

  • Modes of inheritance, including autosomal dominant (AD), autosomal recessive (AR), X-linked dominant (XD), and X-linked recessive (XR), were analyzed.
  • Clinical manifestations were classified into hypoplastic and hypomineralization forms, and their prevalence was determined.

    • Main Results:

    • Autosomal dominant (AD) inheritance was the most probable mode in 33 families, followed by AR (6 families) and XR (2 families).
    • The hypoplastic form of AI was observed in 72% of individuals, while the hypomineralization form occurred in 28%.
    • AD inheritance was strongly associated with the hypoplastic form (89% of cases), whereas hypomineralization was seen in 44% of AD cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) in this cohort is predominantly inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, with distinct hypoplastic and hypomineralization phenotypes.
    • Specific inheritance patterns, particularly AD, are often linked to characteristic AI manifestations within families.
    • X-linked inheritance showed more severe effects in males, indicating potential sex-based differences in AI presentation.
