Dental hypomineralization is a condition affecting Border Collies caused by a mutation in the FAM20C gene. The disease disrupts an important protein involved in bone and teeth mineralization, preventing teeth from mineralizing in development. Dental hypomineralization is inherited in the autosomal recessive fashion, meaning both parents must be carriers for offspring to be affected.
