Genes expressed during amelogenesis are candidates to increase the risk of dental fluorosis (DF). Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the association between polymorphisms in enamel development genes and susceptibility to DF in mice. Mice of both sexes, representing strains 129P3/J (n = 20; resistant to DF) and A/J (n = 20; susceptible to DF), were divided into 2 groups. Each strain received a diet with a low concentration of fluoride (F) and drinking water containing 0 or 50 mg/L of F for 6 weeks. Clinical evaluation and analysis of Vickers enamel microhardness of the incisors were performed. Livers were collected for genomic DNA extraction. Seventeen genetic polymorphisms in Amelx, Ambn, Ambn, Col14a1, Col1a1, Col5a2, Enam, Fam20a, Fam83h, Foxo1, Klk4, Mmp20, Serpinf1, Serpinh1, Smad3, Tuft1, and Wdr72 were genotyped by real-time PCR using Taqman chemistry. Overrepresentation of alleles and genotypes in DF was evaluated using the χ2 test with an alpha of 5%. The clinical aspects of the enamel and the surface enamel microhardness confirmed the DF condition. In the polymorphisms rs29569969, rs13482592, and rs13480057 in Ambn, Col14a1, and Mmp20, respectively, genotype and allele distributions were statistically significantly different between A/J and 129P3/J strains (p < 0.05). In conclusion, polymorphisms in Ambn, Col14a1, and Mmp20 are associated with the susceptibility to DF.

D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D003743 Dental Enamel A hard thin translucent layer of calcified substance which envelops and protects the dentin of the crown of the tooth. It is the hardest substance in the body and is almost entirely composed of calcium salts. Under the microscope, it is composed of thin rods (enamel prisms) held together by cementing substance, and surrounded by an enamel sheath.

D000566 Amelogenesis The elaboration of dental enamel by ameloblasts, beginning with its participation in the formation of the dentino-enamel junction to the production of the matrix for the enamel prisms and interprismatic substance. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992). Amelogeneses
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
