Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene encoding family with sequence similarity 20, member A (FAM20A) caused amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), in humans. However, the roles of FAM20A in amelogenesis and dentinogenesis are poorly understood. In this study, we generated a Fam20a knockout (Sox2-Cre;Fam20afl/fl) mouse model by crossing Fam20afl/fl mice with Sox2-Cre transgenic mice, in which Fam20a was ablated in both dental epithelium...
