Pediatric ABCC6 deficiency: a genotypic and phenotypic analysis [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background ABCC6 deficiency is caused by variants in the ABCC6 gene, leading to dysfunction of the ABCC6 protein. This can result in the development of the infantile phenotype, generalized arterial calcification of infancy type 2 (GACI2), or the ...

The molecular and physiological roles of ABCC6: more than meets the eye [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2012
Abnormal mineralization occurs in the context of several common conditions, including advanced age, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, chronic renal failure and certain genetic conditions. Metabolic, mechanical, infectious, and inflammatory injuries promote

Nonfamilial Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum: A Case Report With Review of Selected Literature. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT A 44‐year‐old woman with classic cutaneous manifestations of nonfamilial PXE presented with multiple 3 to 10 mm yellowish papules coalescing into well‐demarcated, cobblestone‐like plaques. Previous ophthalmologic evaluation revealed retinal angioid streaks, while no cardiovascular involvement was reported.

Loss of ABCC6 in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Leads to Elevated Reactive Oxygen Species Formation and a Senescence-like Phenotype [PDF]

Antioxidants
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is an autosomal-recessive disorder caused by mutations in ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 6 (ABCC6). In addition to the calcification and fragmentation of elastic fibers as the pathomechanistic cause of PXE ...

ABCC6 pathogenic variants are associated with hemorrhagic phenotypes in Japanese patients with severe cerebral small vessel disease [PDF]

Scientific Reports
ABCC6 pathogenic variants affect ischemic and hemorrhagic lesions in multiple organs and represent the third most common cause of hereditary cerebral small vessel diseases (CSVD) in Japan, yet their CSVD phenotypes remains unclear.

Severe Hypertension and Hematologic Abnormalities in Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum: A Pediatric Case Report. [PDF]

J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich)
ABSTRACT Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic variants in ABCC6, leading to progressive calcification of elastic fibers. Although PXE typically presents in adolescence with dermatologic or ocular manifestations, early vascular involvement, including pediatric hypertension, is increasingly recognized.

The liver regulates ectopic calcification in Abcc6-deficient models of pseudoxanthoma elasticum [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Investigation
Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum (PXE) is a rare disease caused by loss of function of the ATP-binding cassette C (ABC) member 6 (Abcc6) gene and characterized by ectopic calcification of multiple tissues, but the physiological reasons underlying ectopic ...

Conserved transcriptional co-regulation of pyrophosphate homeostasis genes governs systemic mineralization factors in mice and humans [PDF]

Molecular Metabolism
Inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) is a key inhibitor of ectopic calcification, yet transcriptional regulation of genes controlling its systemic production and degradation (ABCC6, ALPL, ANKH, and ENPP1) remains poorly understood.

Diabetes-induced vascular calcification is associated with low pyrophosphate and its oral supplementation prevents calcification in diabetic mice. [PDF]

FEBS Open Bio
Induction of diabetes in three different mouse strains uniformly resulted in an increase in TNAP activity and a reduction in pyrophosphate (PPi) in the circulation. Inhibition of TNAP restored plasma PPi. Diabetes‐induced calcification in the media layer of the aorta was detected only in the Abcc6−/− strain, which is predisposed to ectopic ...

Investigation on ABCC6-Deficient Human Hepatocytes Generated by CRISPR–Cas9 Genome Editing [PDF]

Cells
Patients affected by the rare disease pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) exhibit the calcification of elastic fibers in ocular, dermal, and vascular tissues. These symptoms are triggered by mutations in the ATP-binding cassette transporter subfamily C member
