A novel nonsense variant in SLC24A4 causing a rare form of amelogenesis imperfecta in a Pakistani family

Abstract

This nonsense sequence variant c.1192C > T (p.Gln398*) is the sixth disease-causing variant in SLC24A4, which extends its mutation spectrum and confirms the role of this gene in the morphogenesis of human tooth enamel. The identified variant highlights the critical role of SLC24A4 in causing a rare AI type in humans.
