Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Amelogenesis Imperfecta
If you or your family members experience abnormal tooth development, discoloured teeth, or severe dental enamel problems, you may be dealing with Amelogenesis Imperfecta – a genetic condition that affects how tooth enamel forms. The C4orf26 Gene Amelogenesis Imperfecta Type 2A4 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic risk and take control of your dental health.
What This Test Detects
The C4orf26 gene plays a crucial role in proper tooth enamel formation. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Amelogenesis Imperfecta type 2A4 – a hereditary condition characterised by abnormal enamel development. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA to identify specific mutations in the C4orf26 gene, providing definitive answers about your genetic risk for this dental disorder.
Who Should Consider This Test
This genetic test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Abnormal tooth enamel development from childhood
- Discoloured teeth (yellow, brown, or grey appearance)
- Teeth that appear small or misshapen
- Increased tooth sensitivity or pain
- Early and severe tooth decay despite good oral hygiene
- Family history of similar dental problems
- Planning pregnancy with family history of enamel disorders

Early detection through genetic testing provides significant benefits:
- Proactive Dental Care: Knowing your genetic risk allows for early intervention and specialised dental treatments
- Family Planning Confidence: Understand inheritance patterns for informed family decisions
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about the cause of dental problems
- Personalised Treatment: Guide dental professionals in creating targeted treatment plans
