Description : Generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) is a severe autosomal recessive
disorder characterized by calcification of the internal elastic lamina of muscular
arteries and stenosis due to myointimal proliferation. GACI is often fatal within
the first 6 months of life because of myocardial ischemia resulting in refractory
heart failure (summary by Rutsch et al., 2003 and Cheng et al., 2005). - Genetic Heterogeneity
of Arterial Calcification Generalized arterial calcification of infancy-2 (GACI2;
614473) is caused by mutation in the ABCC6 gene (603234) on chromosome 16p13.11. Homozygous
or compound heterozygous mutation in the NT5E gene (129190) can cause adult-onset
of calcification of arteries and joints (211800).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase-1 gene
(ENPP1, 173335.0002);
