Abstract:
Objective To figure the clinical characteristics and genetic bases of Dentinogenesis imperfecta type Ⅱ in a large Mongolian family.Methods Systematic analysis for this family was carried out using clinical detection. Results Affected individuals of Dentinogenesis imperfecta type Ⅱ were consecutively found in a five-generation family. The morbidity of the offsprings is nearly 1/2 and no sexual difference is found. The analysis of clinical features as well as dental x-ray check showed specific finding that were not found in other families. Conclusion Dentinogenesis imperfecta type Ⅱ in this Mongolian family pertains to autosomal dominant disorder with high genetic heterogeneity in clinical phenotype. Further study is warranted to identify the association of this heterogeneity with lifestyle or genetic information.
