Enamel Renal Gingival Syndrome in an Adolescent

J Dent Child (Chic). 2024 Jan 15;91(1):38-42.

Abstract

Enamel renal gingival syndrome is a rare clinical condition characterized by the presence of amelogenesis imperfecta hypoplastic type, gingival fibromatosis and delayed tooth eruption, in addition to nephrocalcinosis with normal blood calcium levels. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait caused by mutations in the FAM20A gene located on chromosome 17q24.2. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of enamel renal gingival syndrome and discuss its distinct features and management.
