A family with X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta (XAI) is described in which the disease is associated with a nonsense mutation in exon 5 of the amelogenin gene. This mutation involves a single base deletion (CCCC-->CCC) in the exon in an affected male, his sister and his mother. The effect of this de
