title: Amelogenesis imperfecta in triplets: a unique family record.
abstract: A unique family is recorded in which triplets were observed with the hypomaturation type of amelogenesis imperfecta. A simple technique of DNA analysis showed that two of the more severely affected triplets were monozygotic and the third less severely affected triplet dizygotic.
