A novel DSPP mutation causes dentinogenesis imperfecta type II in a large Mongolian family

摘要

BackgroundSeveral studies have shown that the clinical phenotypes of dentinogenesis imperfecta type II (DGI-II) may be caused by mutations in dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP). However, no previous studies have documented the clinical phenotype and genetic basis of DGI-II in a Mongolian family from China.
