Find Clarity About Hereditary Dental Enamel Disorders
If you or your family members struggle with dental enamel problems that seem to run in the family, you’re not alone. Amelogenesis Imperfecta can affect your confidence, dental health, and quality of life. Our MMP20 Gene test provides the definitive answers you need to understand your genetic predisposition and take control of your dental health journey.
Understanding Your MMP20 Genetic Test
This specialised genetic test examines the MMP20 gene using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. The MMP20 gene plays a crucial role in enamel formation during tooth development. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Amelogenesis Imperfecta Type 2A2 – a hereditary condition affecting dental enamel quality and structure.
Our test doesn’t just identify problems; it provides clarity about your genetic makeup, helping you and your healthcare providers develop targeted management strategies for better dental health outcomes.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Family history of dental enamel disorders across generations
- Unusually soft, discoloured, or easily damaged tooth enamel
- Multiple family members requiring extensive dental work
- Planning for pregnancy with concerns about hereditary dental conditions
- Unexplained dental problems despite good oral hygiene
Many South African families in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban have found answers through genetic testing when traditional dental examinations couldn’t explain their enamel concerns.
