Pricing Comments
Our favored testing approach is exome based NextGen sequencing with CNV analysis. This will allow cost effective reflexing to PGxome or other exome based tests. However, if full gene Sanger sequencing is desired for STAT turnaround time, insurance, or other reasons, please see link below for Test Code, pricing, and turnaround time information.
An additional 25% charge will be applied to STAT orders. STAT orders are prioritized throughout the testing process.

3 weeks on average for standard orders or 2 weeks on average for STAT orders.
Please note: Once the testing process begins, an Estimated Report Date (ERD) range will be displayed in the portal. This is the most accurate prediction of when your report will be complete and may differ from the average TAT published on our website. About 85% of our tests will be reported within or before the ERD range. We will notify you of significant delays or holds which will impact the ERD. Learn more about turnaround times here.

Clinical Features and Genetics
Clinical Features
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a heterogeneous condition of enamel defects affecting both primary and permanent dentitions. Affected teeth are usually small, discolored, pitted or grooved, and prone to rapid wear and breakage. Based on clinical and radiographic features of the enamel defects as well as on the mode of inheritance, AI has been divided into 14 different subtypes, which can be grouped into four major forms: hypoplastic, hypomaturation, hypocalcified, and hypomaturation-hypoplastic with taurodontism (Witkop et al. 1988). Hypoplastic AI shows reduced enamel volume with pits or grooves, but enamel is usually hard and translucent. Hypomaturation and hypocalcified AI have hypomineralized enamel with nearly normal matrix volume. Hypocalcified AI may present soft enamel which can be easily scraped away by attrition. Hypomaturation enamel is hard, but brittle and prone to breaking off. Hypomaturation-hypoplastic with taurodontism shows reduced, hypomineralized enamel with pits; in addition, molars or other teeth may present enlarged pulp chambers (Witkop et al. 1988; Crawford et al. 2007).
AI and AI-related syndromes are currently known to be caused by mutations in the following genes: AMELX (Aldred et al. 1992), DLX3 (Price et al. 1998), ENAM (Mardh et al. 2002), KLK4 (Hart et al. 2004), MMP20 (Kim et al. 2005), FAM83H (Lee et al. 2008; Kim et al. 2008), WDR72 (El-Sayed et al. 2009), FAM20A (O'Sullivan et al. 2011), ODAPH (C4orf26) (Parry et al. 2012), ROGDI (Schossig et al. 2012), SLC24A4 (Parry et al. 2013), ITGB6 (Poulter et al. 2013; Wang et al. 2013), LAMB3 (Kim et al. 2013), CNNM4 (Parry et al. 2009) and NHS (Burdon et al. 2003).
Enamel defects can also occur as syndrome disorders. For example, Kohlschütter–Tönz syndrome features enamel defects, psychomotor delay or regression and seizures caused by ROGDI mutations (Tucci et al. 2013); Nance-Horan syndrome (NHS) is characterized by congenital cataracts, dental anomalies, dysmorphic features and mental retardation caused by mutations in the NHS gene (Burdon et al. 2003); Jalili Syndrome features autosomal-Recessive Cone-Rod dystrophy and amelogenesis Imperfecta caused by mutations in the CNNM4 gene (Parry et al. 2009); and mutations in the FAM20A gene cause amelogenesis imperfecta and gingival hyperplasia syndrome as well as amelogenesis imperfecta and renal syndrome (O’Sullivan et al. 2011; Wang et al. 2013).
Genetics
Mutations in the ODAPH gene cause autosomal recessive hypomineralized amelogenesis imperfecta. The C4ORF26 protein coded by the ODAPH gene is a putative extracellular matrix acidic phosphoprotein and plays a role in enamel mineralization during tooth formation (Parry et al. 2012). To date, only 5 unique pathogenic variants have been reported. They are: three nonsense, one splicing and one small deletion and insertion. The homozygous c.229C>T (p. Arg77*) mutation was identified in four unrelated Omani families affected with recessive hypomineralized AI (Human Gene Mutation Database, Parry et al. 2012). No large deletions and duplications have been reported.
Clinical Sensitivity - Sequencing with CNV PGxome
ODAPH causative mutations were identified in 9 out of 58 unrelated clinical diagnosed AI patients (Parry et al. 2012).
Testing Strategy
This test provides full coverage of all coding exons of the ODAPH gene plus 10 bases of flanking noncoding DNA in all available transcripts along with other non-coding regions in which pathogenic variants have been identified at PreventionGenetics or reported elsewhere. We define full coverage as >20X NGS reads or Sanger sequencing. PGnome panels typically provide slightly increased coverage over the PGxome equivalent. PGnome sequencing panels have the added benefit of additional analysis and reporting of deep intronic regions (where applicable).
Dependent on the sequencing backbone selected for this testing, discounted reflex testing to any other similar backbone-based test is available (i.e., PGxome panel to whole PGxome; PGnome panel to whole PGnome).
Indications for Test
Candidates for this test are patients with symptoms consistent with autosomal recessive hypomineralized amelogenesis imperfecta and the family members of patients who have known ODAPH mutations. This test may also be considered for the reproductive partners of individuals who carry pathogenic variants in ODAPH.
