Hereditary opalescent dentine: variation in expression.
A family is described in which two females are more severely affected by hereditary opalescent dentine than the males. The genealogy of this family does not provide an accepted pattern of inheritance for this dentine anomaly. This may indicate that there is considerable variation in inheritance patterns for hereditary opalescent dentine and that this trait does not always exhibit 100 percent penetrance.
