Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Early onset (between in utero to infancy) of extensive calcification and stenosis of the large and medium sized arteries. Presentation is typically with respiratory distress, congestive heart failure and systemic hypertension

NT5E mutations cause usually adult onset calcification of joints and arteries, possibly starting in the second decade already.

ABCC6: Arterial calcification, generalized, of infancy, 2

ENPP1: Arterial calcification, generalized, of infancy, 1
