Entrez Gene summary for FAM20A Gene:

This locus encodes a protein that is likely secreted and may function in hematopoiesis. A mutation at this locus

has been associated with amelogenesis imperfecta and gingival hyperplasia syndrome. Alternatively spliced

transcript variants have been identified. (provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011)

GeneCards Summary for FAM20A Gene:

FAM20A (family with sequence similarity 20, member A) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with FAM20A include amelogenesis imperfecta and gingival hyperplasia syndrome, and amelogenesis imperfecta and gingival fibromatosis syndrome. An important paralog of this gene is FAM20B.
