Amelogenesis imperfecta
Gene: ITGB6
Currently on the Leeds AI diagnostic panel (Contact: Ruth Charlton). Patients with biallelic mutations in ITGB6 have either hypomineralised pitted enamel or hypoplastic enamel with a rough surface. More recently, a consanguineous family with a homozygous ITGB6 mutation with adolescent alopecia, intellectual disability and dentogingival abnormalities with rough, discoloured enamel was reported. However, it is unclear if these additional phenotypes result from the ITGB6 variant or are co-segregating, for example, due to an undetected copy number variant. The ITGB6 missense mutations identified so far lie within the β1 domain of the protein involved in binding to α integrin subunits, activity-modifying cations and ligands. Another patient has been reported with a homozygous ITGB6 nonsense mutation, but phenotyping of the enamel was complicated by the co-presence of a hemizygous Nance-Horan syndrome (congenital cataracts and dental anomalies) mutation (MIM *300457).
