Amelogenesis Imperfecta and Other Biomineralization Defects in Fam20a and Fam20c Null Mice

Abstract: The FAM20 family of secreted proteins consists of three members (FAM20A, FAM20B, and FAM20C) recently linked to developmental disorders suggesting roles for FAM20 proteins in modulating biomineralization processes. The authors report here findings in knockout mice having null mutations affecting each of the three FAM20 proteins. Both Fam20a and Fam20c null mice survived to adulthood and showed biomineralization defects. Fam20b -/-embryos showed severe stunting and increased mortality at E13.5, although early l… Show more

“…Nonlethal cases have also been reported, and these patients develop hypophosphatemia as a result of elevated levels of the phosphate-regulating hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) (12). Additionally, Fam20C knockout (KO) mice develop renal phosphate wasting due to an increase in circulating bioactive FGF23 as well as severe hypophosphatemic rickets (13,14). Thus, Fam20C has been proposed to be a regulator of FGF23; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying the control of this hormone by Fam20C are unclear.…”

“…Most individuals with Raine syndrome die within a few weeks after birth; however, nonlethal cases with dental abnormalities and clinical features of hypophosphatemia have been reported (17,18). Loss of Fam20C in mice also results in severe bone and tooth anomalies, as well as hypophosphatemia (19)(20)(21).Two other closely related Fam20C paralogs, Fam20A and Fam20B, are present in humans (22). Fam20B is ubiquitously expressed and phosphorylates xylose within the tetrasaccharide linkage region of proteoglycans (23).…”

“…This phosphorylation event may influence glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis (24). Genetic deletion of Fam20B in mice results in embryonic lethality at E13.5, and mutations in Danio rerio result in reduced cartilage matrix production and skeletal defects (19,25). The substrates for Fam20A are unknown; however, mutations in FAM20A are known to cause amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) and enamel renal syndrome (ERS) in humans (26)(27)(28)(29).…”
