Aims

To support implementation of clinical genetics for the care of patients with Amelogenesis Imperfecta

Objectives
  • Understand the underlying genetics of AI, and how this influences the life course of the condition.
  • Identify patients that would benefit from genomic testing.
  • Build skills in discussing the test and its implications with families so an informed decision can be made about undergoing testing.
  • Be able to order the test through the new NHS Genomic Medicine Service system
  • Understand test reports and the implications results will have for patients and their families
  • Build skills in conveying information from results to families.
  • Understand when appropriate ongoing management including onward referral if required
  • Have knowledge of the electronic care-pathway for AI being piloted in Yorkshire
