General information
Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI), also known as Familial Enamel Hypoplasia (FEH), represents a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders affecting tooth enamel. The condition uniformly affects deciduous and permanent teeth and is manifested by enamel roughening/thinning and brownish mottling.
This variant of the disorder, also known as Amelogenesis Imperfecta 3, is found in the Akita Inu. It is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene ACPT (also known as ACP4).
