In this study, we tested if genetic variation in enamel formation genes is associated with molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH), also taking into consideration caries experience. DNA samples from 163 cases with MIH and 82 unaffected controls from Turkey, and 71 cases with MIH and 89 unaffected controls from Brazil were studied. Eleven markers in five genes [ameloblastin (AMBN), amelogenin (AMELX), enamelin (ENAM), tuftelin (TUFT1), and tuftelin-interacting protein 11 (TFIP11)] were genotyped by the TaqMan method.

Comparative characterization of STRO-1neg/CD146pos and STRO-1pos/CD146pos apical papilla stem cells enriched with flow cytometry
Conclusions: These results suggest that STRO-1pos/CD146pos SCAP cells represent a very promising adult MSCs source with enhanced multipotent SC properties that could be easily isolated with simple flow cytometric methods to be used for tissue engineering applications.
