phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
growth/size/body
• enamel is opaque and darkly stained
• shortened maturation-stage ameloblasts, but morphologically normal secretory ameloblasts
• reduction in intracellular amelogenin protein levels in early maturation stage ameloblasts with amelogenin absent by mid-maturation
• retain non-mineralized, organic material in the enamel matrix during maturation
• hypomineralized enamel
• thickness is normal at the base of the incisors and molar crowns but is lost on the occlusal surfaces
• beginning at P21 in males and P24 in females, probably due to difficulty in feeding on hard foods

skeleton
