DSPP mutation in dentinogenesis imperfecta Shields type II

Nature Genetics volume 27, pages 151–152 (2001)Cite this article

Abstract

We identified a nonsense mutation (Gln45stop) in exon 3 of the dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) gene in a Chinese family with dentinogenesis imperfecta Shields type II (DGI-II), in which the affected members showed discoloration and severe attrition of their teeth, with obliterated pulp chambers.
